Time Out in Api rest Express Nodejs - node.js

Question

I want to put my api in time out. I tried to put it in a "global" way when I create the server but the answer only says that no data was returned, not a 504 error. I also have the option to place it for each route, I think the time out should go in the controller of my app .
function initialize() {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const app = express();
httpServer = http.createServer(app);
app.use(morgan('combined'));
app.use('/proyecto', router_proyecto);
app.use('/tramitacion',router_tramitacion);
httpServer.listen(webServerConfig.port, err => {
if (err) {
reject(err);
return;
}
//httpServer.timeout = 500;
console.log('Servidor web escuchando en puerto:'+webServerConfig.port);
resolve();
});
});
}
exaple of a route:
router_proyecto.route('/getProyecto/:proyid?')
.get(proyecto.getProyecto);
Controller(Time out should go here):
async function getProyecto(req, res, next) {
try {
const context = {};
context.proyid = parseInt(req.params.proyid, 10);
const rows = await proyectos.getProyecto_BD(context);
if (rows.length >0) {
res.status(200).json(rows);
} else {
res.status(404).end();
}
} catch (err) {
next(err);
}
}
module.exports.getProyecto = getProyecto;

What does "time out" mean to you? Because a a timeout is a well defined term in Javascript and your server should definitely not be using that. If you want your server to simply serve some content with a specific HTTP code, depending on some global flag, then you were on the right track except you need to write it as middleware.
let lock = Date.now();
function serveLockContent(req, res, next) {
if (lock <= Date.now()) {
return next();
}
res.status(503).write('Server unavailable');
}
...
app.use(serveLockContent);
...
app.post('/lock/:seconds', verifyAuth, otherMiddlerware, (req, res) => {
lock = Date.now() + (parseInt(req.params.howlong) || 0) * 1000;
res.write('locked');
});
