NodeJS Timeout a Promise if failed to complete in time

Question

How can I timeout a promise after certain amount of time? I know Q has a promise timeout, but I\'m using native NodeJS promises and they don\'t have .timeout function.

Answer 1

If your code is placed in a class you could use a decorator for that. You have such decorator in the utils-decorators (npm install --save utils-decorators):

import {timeout} from 'utils-decorators';

class SomeService {

   @timeout(3000)
   doSomeAsync(): Promise {
    ....
   }
}
