Combination of async function + await + setTimeout

Question

I am trying to use the new async features and I hope solving my problem will help others in the future. This is my code which is working:

  async function as         


        

Answer 1

Made a util inspired from Dave's answer

Basically passed in a done callback to call when the operation is finished.

// Function to timeout if a request is taking too long
const setAsyncTimeout = (cb, timeout = 0) => new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  cb(resolve);
  setTimeout(() => reject('Request is taking too long to response'), timeout);
});

This is how I use it:

try {
  await setAsyncTimeout(async done => {
    const requestOne = await someService.post(configs);
    const requestTwo = await someService.get(configs);
    const requestThree = await someService.post(configs);
    done();
  }, 5000); // 5 seconds max for this set of operations
}
catch (err) {
  console.error('[Timeout] Unable to complete the operation.', err);
}
