# CancellationToken

Simple cancellation token using channels, based on the VS Code [CancellationToken](https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/vscode-api#CancellationToken).

## Installation

1. Add the dependency to your `shard.yml`:

```yaml
dependencies:
cancellation_token:
github: nobodywasishere/cancellation_token
```

2. Run `shards install`

## Usage

```crystal
require "cancellation_token"

# Create a new token source
token_source = CancellationTokenSource.new
token = token_source.token

# Spawn a fiber that checks the token to see if it should stop
spawn do
loop do
# Check to see if the fiber should stop
if token.cancelled?
break
end

puts "hello world"

sleep(1.second)

# Do fiber work here
end
end

# Later on, if desired, cancel the token
token_source.cancel

```
