Angular2 timeout in http post request

Question

Is it possible to make a timeout of 3 seconds in a post request ? How ?

My code for the moment

this.http.post(\'myUrl\', 
    MyData, {headers: Myhe         


        

Answer 1

You might need to import timeout like so

import 'rxjs/add/operator/timeout'

I couldn't get it to work without that on rxjs 5.0.1 and angular 2.3.1

Edit 20 April 2018

please refrain from importing operators that way, in rxjs +5.5 you can import operators like this one with

import { timeout } from 'rxjs/operators/timeout';
// Use it like so
stream$.pipe(timeout(3000))

Please checkout this document which explains pipeable operators in great depth.
