Node Express specific timeout value per route

Question

I\'m developing a Node v4.2.4 application using Express v4.13.4. Now I would like to increase the timeout time for a specific upload route.

From what I\'ve read and

Answer 1

I've solved it using the following route configuration:

'use strict';

const ms = require('ms');
const express = require('express');
const router = express.Router();

router.route('/upload-files')
  .post(
    setConnectionTimeout('12h'),
    require('./actions/upload-files').responseHandler
  );

function setConnectionTimeout(time) {
  var delay = typeof time === 'string'
    ? ms(time)
    : Number(time || 5000);

  return function (req, res, next) {
    res.connection.setTimeout(delay);
    next();
  }
}

exports.router = router;

Where the key logic is the following middleware:

  function (req, res, next) {
    res.connection.setTimeout(delay);
    next();
  }

I hope this reference will come in handy for others.
