Type Alias Terminable

The Terminable interface provides a mechanism for lifecycle management of certain operations or entities. It offers a means to terminate or invalidate an action, essentially acting as a cleanup or undo mechanism.

This interface is especially useful in scenarios where dynamic adjustments, resource releases, or reversions of temporary settings are needed.

Typical usage:

const action: Terminable = subscribeToAProgress()
// ... some code ...
action.terminate() // This will undo or clean up the action.
Copy

Implementing classes should ensure that the terminate method safely handles the necessary cleanup or invalidation actions required for the context in which it's used.
