How can I implement timeout for angular2+ http request

Question

Here is just regular request looking like that:

this.people = http.get(\'http://localhost:3000/users\')
                  .map(response => response.json()

If you are using RxJS version 6 and above the current syntax is this:

import { timeout } from 'rxjs/operators';

getPeople(){
  return this.http.get(API_URL)
  .pipe(
      timeout(5000) //5 seconds
  );
