# cancel abstract method

Future cancel()

Cancels the stream iterator (and the underlying stream subscription) early.

The stream iterator is automatically canceled if the moveNext future completes with either `false` or an error.

If you need to stop listening for values before the stream iterator is automatically closed, you must call cancel to ensure that the stream is properly closed.

If moveNext has been called when the iterator is canceled, its returned future will complete with `false` as value, as will all further calls to moveNext.

Returns a future which completes when the cancellation is complete. This can be an already completed future if the cancellation happens synchronously.

## Implementation

    Future cancel();
