import { limitExecution, ExecutionLimitError } from 'limit-execution';
const lateResolvingPromise = () => new Promise(resolve => (
setTimeout(resolve, 2000)
));
const main = async() => {
try {
await limitExecution(
lateResolvingPromise(),
1000
);
} catch (error) {
if (error instanceof ExecutionLimitError) {
// Do something
}
}
};
Aborting axios request
import axios from 'axios';
import { limitExecution } from 'limit-execution';

* @returns {Promise<*>}
*/
const limitAxiosCall = async() => {
const controller = new AbortController();
const { data } = await limitExecution(
axios.get('https://jsonapi.org/examples/', {
