Animation: cancel() method
The Web Animations API's cancel() method of the Animation interface clears all KeyframeEffects caused by this animation and aborts its playback.
Note: When an animation is cancelled, its startTime and currentTime are set to null.
Syntax
cancel()
Parameters
None.
Return value
None (undefined).
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.
