example-node-fetch-abortsignal.js

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

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

async function timeout(milliseconds) {
  try {
    await setTimeout(milliseconds, undefined, { signal: cancelTimeout.signal });
    cancelRequest.abort();
  } catch (error) {
    // Ignore rejections
  }
}

async function makeRequest() {
  try {
    const response = await fetch("http://localhost:3000/", {
      signal: cancelRequest.signal,
    });
    const responseData = await response.json();

    return responseData;
  } catch (error) {
    if (error.name === "AbortError") {
      console.error("Request was aborted");
    } else {
      console.error(error);
    }
  } finally {
    cancelTimeout.abort();
  }
}

const result = await Promise.race([timeout(2000), makeRequest()]);

console.log({ result });
