How to set a global request timeout

[drinksbydrew]

• I have checked that the SDK documentation doesn't solve my issue.
• I have checked that the API documentation doesn't solve my issue.
• I have searched the Box Developer Forums and my issue isn't already reported (or if it has been reported, I have attached a link to it, for reference).
• I have searched Issues in this repo and my issue isn't already reported.

Description of the Issue

I'm having a request hang indefinitely. I haven't figured out which one yet. Is there a way to set a global request timeout? I saw a networkSession parameter to the BoxClient constructor but I'm not sure that that's the right thing to use.

I saw in other libraries, like the box-java-library, that there is a way to configure a timeout. I just can't seem to find that for this library.

Versions Used

Typescript SDK: 1.6.0 (box-typescript-sdk-gen)
Platform: node
Node.js (if applicable): 20.12

Hi @drinksbydrew
Currently we don't have any global configuration of the timeout for the fetch request, but we are providing the cancellationToken is an instance of AbortSignal.

So to cancel a request after 5 seconds, you can do something like:

const signal = AbortSignal.timeout(5000);
await boxClient.users.getUserMe(undefined, undefined, signal);

More information about AbortSignal here.
