helpers.js

import fetch from 'node-fetch';
import { setTimeout } from "node:timers/promises";

const cancelRequest = new AbortController();
const cancelTimeout = new AbortController();

export async function timeout(delay) {
  try {
    await setTimeout(delay, undefined, { signal: cancelTimeout.signal });
    cancelRequest.abort();
  } catch (error) {
    return;
  }

  throw new Error(`Request aborted as it took longer than ${delay}ms`);
}

export async function makeRequest(url) {
  try {
    const response = await fetch(url, { signal: cancelRequest.signal });
    return await response.json();
  } finally {
    cancelTimeout.abort();
  }
}

main.js

import { makeRequest, timeout } from './helpers.js';

const url = 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1';
const result = await Promise.race([
    makeRequest(url),
    timeout(100)
]);

console.log({ result });
