Co Assert Timeout

Assert that a thunk or generator takes less than a certain amount of time. Note that it does not stop the thunk or generator from finish executing.

Examples

Koa

To set the timeout of all the downstream middleware, you can do the following:

app.use(function* (next) {
  yield assertTimeout(next, '5 seconds')
})

However, you generally don't want to do this. You only want to set a timeout when the client takes too long to do something, not you. Specifically, you should set a timeout only on the client sending a request:

app.use(function* (next) {
  var buffer = yield assertTimeout(this.request.buffer(), '5 seconds')
})

If you want to customize or handle the error yourself:

app.use(function* (next) {
  try {
    var buffer = yield assertTimeout(this.request.buffer(), '5 seconds')
  } catch (err) {
    if (err.status === 408) {
      // assertTimeout's errors will have err.status = 408
      // let's make a new error with a custom message
      err = new Error('you took too long to upload')
      err.status = 408
    }

    // rethrow the error
    throw err
  }

  yield next
})

API

assertTimeout(fn, timeout, [done])

• fn - a thunk, generator, or generator function
• timeout - timeout in milliseconds integer or a string
• done - optional callback called only when fn finishes executing after the timeout error is thrown
