WriteTransaction.discard() method

Discard drops all active transaction changes. It also invalidates the transaction, so it will fail upon calling end.

Signature:

discard(): Promise<void>;

Returns:

Promise<void>

Example

Abort an in-flight transaction

import {Client, ThreadID} from '@textile/hub'

interface Astronaut {
  name: string
  missions: number
  _id: string
}

async function example (client: Client, threadID: ThreadID) {
  const buzz: Astronaut = {
    name: 'Buzz',
    missions: 2,
    _id: '',
  }

  const t = client.writeTransaction(threadID, 'astronauts')
  await t.start()
  await t.create([buzz])
  await t.discard() // Abort
  await t.end()
}
