We can make use of this when ever we would need to do explicit type casting on user input. https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/47eadb68bfcae1641b019e07e051aa39420685fb/activemodel/lib/active_model/type/boolean.rb

/code
const controller = new AbortController();

// now you can reject the above promise by calling abort like this
signal.abort()

//promise will get rejected with error "AbortError"
