Axios etimedout

Axios etimedout

The “axios etimedout” error typically occurs when an API request using the Axios library exceeds the specified timeout value. Axios allows you to set a timeout for each request, which determines how long the client will wait for a response from the server before throwing the timeout error.

Here is an example of how to handle and troubleshoot the “axios etimedout” error:

1. Check your network connection: Ensure that your internet connection is stable and there are no network issues.
2. Review your code: Verify that the correct timeout value is set for your Axios request. The timeout value is in milliseconds. For example, if you want to set a timeout of 5 seconds, you would set it as { timeout: 5000 }.
3. Increase the timeout value: If the request takes longer to complete, you can increase the timeout value to give it more time. However, keep in mind that setting a very high timeout value may have negative impacts on the performance of your application. You can adjust the timeout value based on the specific needs of your application.
4. Handle the error: Use a try-catch block to catch the timeout error and handle it accordingly. Here’s an example:

        
            try {
                const response = await axios.get('https://api.example.com/data', { timeout: 5000 });
                console.log(response.data);
            } catch (error) {
                if (error.code === 'ECONNABORTED') {
                    console.log('Request timed out');
                } else {
                    console.log('An error occurred', error);
                }
            }
        
    

In the above example, if the request times out, the code will catch the error with the code “ECONNABORTED” and log a message indicating that the request has timed out.
