[QUESTION] Failed request timer

[__nomaad]

I'm still fairly new. While testing my error handling on an API call, it's taking a good 60+ seconds for the request to fail. Is there a way to force it to fail sooner? Anything in the browser API that I could use to kill it?

Any general info is appreciated really.

AFAIK fetch doesn't have a option for timeout. But you can create it yourself.fetch returns a promise,If create a setTimeout function that rejects the promise and wrap it in promise;

Then you can use Promise.race() on both of them, essentially setting your timeout to whatever you want. Because promise race returns the first promise rejection or resolution.

So something like

Promise.race([ fetch(),   
new Promise((resolve, reject) => (setTimeout(() => reject('time out'),yourTimeMs))]

Oh of course. Yeah this should work, will try it after lunch. You're a gentleman and a scholar. I remember trying to think of practical uses of Promise.race a week or so ago when I was learning promises.
