# p-timeout
> Timeout a promise after a specified amount of time
## Install
```sh
npm install p-timeout
```
## Usage
```js
import {setTimeout} from 'node:timers/promises';
import pTimeout from 'p-timeout';
const delayedPromise = setTimeout(200);
await pTimeout(delayedPromise, {
milliseconds: 50,
});
//=> [TimeoutError: Promise timed out after 50 milliseconds]
```
## API
### pTimeout(input, options)
Returns a decorated `input` that times out after `milliseconds` time. It has a `.clear()` method that clears the timeout.
If you pass in a cancelable promise, specifically a promise with a `.cancel()` method, that method will be called when the `pTimeout` promise times out.
#### input
Type: `Promise`
Promise to decorate.
#### options
Type: `object`
##### milliseconds
Type: `number`
Milliseconds before timing out.
Passing `Infinity` will cause it to never time out.
##### message
Type: `string | Error | false`\
Default: `'Promise timed out after 50 milliseconds'`
Specify a custom error message or error. If you supply `false`, the promise will resolve successfully instead of rejecting.
If you do a custom error, it's recommended to sub-class `pTimeout.TimeoutError`.
##### fallback
Type: `Function`
Do something other than rejecting with an error on timeout.
You could for example retry:
```js
import {setTimeout} from 'node:timers/promises';
import pTimeout from 'p-timeout';
const delayedPromise = () => setTimeout(200);
await pTimeout(delayedPromise(), {
milliseconds: 50,
fallback: () => {
return pTimeout(delayedPromise(), 300);
},
});
```
##### customTimers
Type: `object` with function properties `setTimeout` and `clearTimeout`
Custom implementations for the `setTimeout` and `clearTimeout` functions.
Useful for testing purposes, in particular to work around [`sinon.useFakeTimers()`](https://sinonjs.org/releases/latest/fake-timers/).
Example:
```js
import {setTimeout} from 'node:timers/promises';
import pTimeout from 'p-timeout';
const originalSetTimeout = setTimeout;
const originalClearTimeout = clearTimeout;
sinon.useFakeTimers();
// Use `pTimeout` without being affected by `sinon.useFakeTimers()`:
await pTimeout(doSomething(), {
milliseconds: 2000,
customTimers: {
setTimeout: originalSetTimeout,
clearTimeout: originalClearTimeout
}
});
```
#### signal
Type: [`AbortSignal`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/AbortSignal)
You can abort the promise using [`AbortController`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/AbortController).
*Requires Node.js 16 or later.*
```js
import pTimeout from 'p-timeout';
import delay from 'delay';
const delayedPromise = delay(3000);
const abortController = new AbortController();
setTimeout(() => {
abortController.abort();
}, 100);
await pTimeout(delayedPromise, {
milliseconds: 2000,
signal: abortController.signal
});
```
### TimeoutError
Exposed for instance checking and sub-classing.
