# p-timeout [](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/p-timeout)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> Timeout a promise after a specified amount of time
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Install
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
$ npm install p-timeout
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Usage
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const delay = require('delay');
 | 
						|
const pTimeout = require('p-timeout');
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const delayedPromise = delay(200);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
pTimeout(delayedPromise, 50).then(() => 'foo');
 | 
						|
//=> [TimeoutError: Promise timed out after 50 milliseconds]
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## API
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### pTimeout(input, ms, [message | fallback])
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Returns a decorated `input` that times out after `ms` time.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### input
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Type: `Promise`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Promise to decorate.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### ms
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Type: `number`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Milliseconds before timing out.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### message
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Type: `string` `Error`<br>
 | 
						|
Default: `'Promise timed out after 50 milliseconds'`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Specify a custom error message or error.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you do a custom error, it's recommended to sub-class `pTimeout.TimeoutError`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### fallback
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Type: `Function`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Do something other than rejecting with an error on timeout.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You could for example retry:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const delay = require('delay');
 | 
						|
const pTimeout = require('p-timeout');
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const delayedPromise = () => delay(200);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
pTimeout(delayedPromise(), 50, () => {
 | 
						|
	return pTimeout(delayedPromise(), 300);
 | 
						|
});
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### pTimeout.TimeoutError
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Exposed for instance checking and sub-classing.
