Echo JS

Fetch() API by itself doesn’t allow canceling programmatically a request. To stop a request at the desired time you need additionally an abort controller. In Chrome a network request timeouts at 300 seconds, while in Firefox at 90 seconds. If the request takes longer than 6 seconds, the request is canceled and a timeout error is thrown.

How to Timeout a fetch() Request

Learned something new that the default timeout duration of fetch is really longer and how now to make the user impatient about it.
Thanks for sharing!

Sharing on the off chance it helps someone in the future. I identified two main shortcomings of this implementation, for the use case I had. First, is the function does not respect/allow an <code>AbortSignal</code> to be passed in on the <code>signal</code> field of <code>RequestInit</code>. Secondly there is no way to distinguish a timeout vs. a cancellation (the first note makes this not possible anyway).
I wrote a function to address these needs <a href="https://gist.github.com/dillonstreator/4f030db04dfede9a17f6c97a8cd1b7f3" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">here</a>.
