Create an AbortSignal that aborts after a timeout, with reset and clear

npm install abort-timer

import abortTimer from 'abort-timer';

const {signal, clear} = abortTimer(5000);

const response = await fetch('https://example.com', {signal});
clear();

import abortTimer from 'abort-timer';

const {signal, reset} = abortTimer(5000);

// Extend the deadline by another 5 seconds
reset();

// Or set a new duration
reset(10_000);

import abortTimer from 'abort-timer';

{
	using timer = abortTimer(5000);
	await fetch('https://example.com', {signal: timer.signal});
}
// Timer is automatically cleared when leaving the block
