upgraded-fetch-timeout

library0.0.3jsnpmunverified

A lightweight HTTP/S fetch wrapper that adds configurable timeout support with custom error messages. Current version 0.0.3 (last release unknown, appears low maintenance). Requires node-fetch as peer dependency for Node.js environments, but attempts to use window.fetch when available. Differentiates from similar packages by allowing a custom error string on timeout, and support for both ES5/CommonJS and ES6/ESM imports. The package is a fork of the original fetch-timeout with minor updates but no active development.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

fetchTimeout

✓ import fetchTimeout from 'upgraded-fetch-timeout'

✗ const fetchTimeout = require('upgraded-fetch-timeout')

Supports both ESM and CJS. Default import only; no named export.

require

✓ const fetchTimeout = require('upgraded-fetch-timeout')

✗ import { fetchTimeout } from 'upgraded-fetch-timeout'

CJS users must use require; named import does not work.

fetchTimeout

✓ window.fetchTimeout = require('upgraded-fetch-timeout')

✗ import fetchTimeout from 'upgraded-fetch-timeout'; window.fetchTimeout = fetchTimeout;

In browser environments, ensure you assign to window if needed.

Demonstrates default import and usage with custom timeout (5000ms) and custom error message.

import fetchTimeout from 'upgraded-fetch-timeout'; fetchTimeout('https://api.github.com/', { method: 'GET', headers: { 'Accept': 'application/json', 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, }, 5000, 'My custom timeout error') .then(res => { if (res.status !== 200) throw new Error('Status not OK'); return res.json(); }) .then(json => console.log(json)) .catch(err => console.log('Error:', err));

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe package tries window.fetch first — in Node.js it silently falls back to node-fetch if available, else fails.

fix

Ensure window.fetch is defined in browser or install node-fetch peer dependency in Node.

affects: <=0.0.3

deprecatedOriginal fetch-timeout is no longer maintained; this fork may have limited updates.

fix

Consider using native AbortController timeout for modern Node (>=15) and browsers.

affects: >=0.0.1

gotchaThe timeout value is in milliseconds; passing a non-number will cause unexpected behavior.

fix

Always pass a positive integer for timeout.

affects: all

gotchaThe custom error argument is string only; if you need an Error object, throw it after catch.

fix

Handle errors manually in the .catch block instead of relying on the string error.

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ReferenceError: fetch is not defined

Missing node-fetch peer dependency in Node.js environment without global fetch.

fix

npm install node-fetch@^2.6.6

TypeError: fetchTimeout is not a function

Using named import instead of default import.

fix

Use 'import fetchTimeout from 'upgraded-fetch-timeout'' (no curly braces).
