I have a user login function that is working. But, I want to incorporate a time out error for the fetch. Is there a way to set up a timer for 5 seconds or so that would stop trying to fetch after such a time? Otherwise, I just get a red screen after a while saying network error.
_userLogin() {
var value = this.refs.form.getValue();
if (value) {
// if validation fails, value will be null
if (!this.validateEmail(value.email)) {
// eslint-disable-next-line no-undef
Alert.alert('Enter a valid email');
} else {
fetch('http://51.64.34.134:5000/api/login', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
Accept: 'application/json',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
timeout: 5000,
body: JSON.stringify({
username: value.email,
password: value.password,
}),
})
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((responseData) => {
if (responseData.status == 'success') {
this._onValueChange(STORAGE_KEY, responseData.data.token);
Alert.alert('Login Success!');
this.props.navigator.push({name: 'StartScreen'});
} else if (responseData.status == 'error') {
Alert.alert('Login Error', responseData.message);
}
})
.done();
}
}
}
I have made a ES6 function that wraps ES fetch into a promise, here it is:
export async function fetchWithTimeout(url, options, timeout = 5000) {
return Promise.race([
fetch(url, options),
new Promise((_, reject) => setTimeout(() => reject(new Error('timeout')), timeout))
]);
}
Here is how to use it:
const requestInfo = {
method,
headers,
body,
};
const url = 'http://yoururl.edu.br'
let data = await fetchWithTimeout(url, requestInfo, 3000);
