NestJS - request timeout

Question

How to set timeout for all requests and if timedout then respond with custom json?

I tried to use:

import * as timeout from 'connect-timeout';

import { NestFactory } from '@nestjs/core';
import { ApplicationModule } from './app.module';

const port = process.env.PORT || 3020;

async function bootstrap() {
  const app = await NestFactory.create(ApplicationModule);
  app.use(timeout('5s'));
  app.use(haltOnTimedOut);

  await app.listen(port);
} 
bootstrap();


function haltOnTimedOut (req, res, next) {
  if (!req.timedout){
      next();
  } else {
      res
        .status(408)
        .json({ status: 'error', data: 'timeout'})
  }
}

but with no luck.

To increase the nestjs - API application server request/response timeout, I did the following in main.js

const server = await app.listen(5000);
server.setTimeout(1800000); // 600,000=> 10Min, 1200,000=>20Min, 1800,000=>30Min
