The npm package p-timeout has seen sporadic releases since its initial version in October 2016. Activity peaked in 2017 and 2020. More recently, releases have become less frequent, with only occasional versions appearing in 2023, 2024, and January 2025. There have been no releases in the months leading up to September 11, 2025.
p-timeout adds a timeout to any promise. If the promise doesn't resolve or reject within the specified timeframe, it rejects with a TimeoutError. This is crucial for preventing stalled operations and ensuring application responsiveness. The package offers clean cancellation of the underlying promise, preventing resource leaks. Options allow customization of the error message and specifying a custom fallback value or promise to be used if the timeout occurs, increasing flexibility in handling timed-out operations.
P-timeout downloads show a generally increasing trend from March 2024 to August 2025, peaking in June and July 2025. There's a significant drop in downloads for September 2025, which likely reflects the incomplete data of the current month. Overall, the package exhibits high and relatively stable usage.
