TimeOut request

[AndreaMinato]

How do I set a timeout for a request?

As I read in the docs i should accomplish that setting the timeout option like this

const rootService = new ApiService({
  adapter: fetch,
  mode: "cors",
  options: { timeout: 20000 },
  hooks: {
    before({ payload, meta, next }) {
      if (meta.guest) return next(payload);
      else {
        const token = store.state.auth.token;
        next(withToken(token, payload));
      }
    }
  }
});
rootService.on("fail", e => {
  if (e.status === 403) {
    store.dispatch("auth/unauthorized", e.body);
  }
  console.log({ status: "fail", obj: e });
});
rootService.on("error", e => {
  store.dispatch("handleAppError", e.body);
  console.log({ status: "error", obj: e });
});

But doing like this I end up with this error

[Apicase.deprecated] Delayed requests and features of Requests+ are now deprecated. Use https://github.com/apicase/spawner instead apicase.js:141:6

TypeError: 'abort' called on an object that does not implement interface AbortController.[Ulteriori informazioni] apicase.js:205:31
    cancel apicase.js:205:31
    start/< apicase.js:197:29

So i believe that I shoul use the spawner but I can't find in the docs how to set a timeout with the spawner, also i don't have the time to rewrite all the infrastructure using spawners just to set a timeout in the base service

As here it seems to be a todo. What may I do?

Hi @AndreaMinato. Sorry for the delay, I'll try to find some time to complete spawner.
As a temporary solution you can do something like

// Wrapper function
const doLimitedRequest = (Service, time, payload) => {
  const req = Service.doRequest(payload)

  const timer = setTimeout(() => {
    req.cancel()
  }, time)

  req.on('finish', () => {
    clearTimeout(timer)
  })
}

doLimitedRequest(Service, 1000, { url: 'test' })

Btw, this is a strange behaviour, I'll check it on weekends

I attempted to implement a timeout wrapper as per your suggestion but calling cancel() on the request (still) throws that TypeError.
