retrying the request, and canceling the current one if it's in progress.

I have a class component that allows you to click a 'retry' button, and when you do that it also aborts the existing request. Would that work with this hook?

I was just about to sit down and puzzle together a hook for this, and when googling I came across your blog post.

Here's what my component looks like currently: https://gist.github.com/sorahn/bb244c2569c8a2614cc49a180b4b3f37

This library is still experimental with Suspense. (The old version without Suspense might work.)

I'd recommend trying out my other library react-hooks-async which should be relatively stable and is more controllable.
The repo has several examples and there are some blog posts too.
I think it would cover most of your use cases. (I haven't tried abort timeout, though.)

Ah, yeah for something like suspense, I guess the retry mechanic wouldn't make sense really.

react-hooks-async looks great. Thanks!
