⚠️ Slowing down new functions

Warning: Slowing down new functions

As the VueUse audience continues to grow, we have been inundated with an overwhelming number of feature requests and pull requests. As a result, maintaining the project has become increasingly challenging and has stretched our capacity to its limits. As such, in the near future, we may need to slow down our acceptance of new features and prioritize the stability and quality of existing functions. Please note that new features for VueUse may not be accepted at this time. If you have any new ideas, we suggest that you first incorporate them into your own codebase, iterate on them to suit your needs, and assess their generalizability. If you strongly believe that your ideas are beneficial to the community, you may submit a pull request along with your use cases, and we would be happy to review and discuss them. Thank you for your understanding.


Description

This PR fixes an issue where, due to network delays, older requests could overwrite the latest one — like when switching tabs quickly. It now ensures only the latest result is used, and also adds support for manual cancellation.

Additional context

Replaces #4797 — reopened because the previous branch name conflicted with an existing one, and includes updated test cases and add doc.

But this doesn't actually cancel the previous promise; it still continues executing in the background, right?

Thanks for the review 🙏 — you're totally right, the previous promise isn't truly cancelled; it still runs in the background.
What the code does is invalidate the resolve and reject of the previous promise whenever execute is called, so that only the latest one takes effect.
This way, we avoid having any result from the old promise interfere with the new one

Maybe you could look into AbortController
