await-timeout

await-timeout, currently at version 1.1.1, offers a Promise-based API for handling `setTimeout` and `clearTimeout` in JavaScript, making it particularly useful within `async/await` constructs. It simplifies common asynchronous patterns such as adding timeouts to network requests or other long-running operations. The library provides both static methods like `Timeout.set(ms)` for simple delays and instance methods (`new Timeout().set(ms)`) for more controlled scenarios, including wrapping existing promises with timeouts using `Timeout.wrap(promise, ms, rejectReason)`. A key differentiator is its emphasis on proper resource management, advising the use of `.clear()` within `finally` blocks to prevent unhandled promise rejections or 'unexpected effects' when dealing with `Promise.race`. While a specific release cadence isn't detailed, its stable 1.x version implies a mature and focused utility for precise timeout management in asynchronous codebases.
