Animation.cancel

This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.

The Web Animations API's cancel() method of the Animation interface clears all KeyframeEffects caused by this animation and aborts its playback.

When an animation is cancelled, its startTime and currentTime are set to null.

Syntax

Animation.cancel();

Parameters

None.

Return value

None.

Exceptions

This method doesn't directly throw exceptions; however, if the animation's playState is anything but "idle" when cancelled, the current finished promise is rejected with a DOMException named AbortError.
