How to close a stream event?

Question

I just opened a stream to listen for transactions. I'd like to know, how to close it, once I get what I am looking for. I can't find the close method in channel, or any of the objects for setting the channel to null, that would close it.

Sample code:

var channel = server.transactions()
    .forAccount(address)
    .cursor('now')
    .stream({ stuff });

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Call the returned object itself.

In your case: channel();

Answer 2

As described in the docs, TransactionCallBuilder.stream returns a function you can call to close a stream:

Returns:

Type: function

Close function. Run to close the connection and stop listening for new events.

Answer 3

I am just trying to make it more clear for the future visitors,

TransactionCallBuilder.stream returns the function to close the connection.

// Opens the stream channel
var streamChannel = server.transactions()
    .forAccount(address)
    .cursor('now')
    .stream({ stuff });

// Close the channel 
streamChannel()
