@youneed/server-middleware-timeout

Fail a request that exceeds a deadline (default 503 Request Timeout), so a slow handler returns a timely error instead of hanging the client.

import { Application } from "@youneed/server";
import { timeout } from "@youneed/server-middleware-timeout";

Application()
  .use(timeout(5000))                              // 5s, global
  .use("/report", timeout(30_000, { status: 504 })) // scoped, custom status
  .listen(3000, () => {});

| option | default | meaning | | --- | --- | --- | | status | 503 | status thrown on timeout | | message | { error: "Request Timeout" } | response body |

The handler keeps running (Node can't cancel it) — the timeout only stops the client from waiting. Pair it with AbortSignal-aware work where possible.
