In Node.js, the default server timeout is 0 milliseconds for the latest version and 2min i.e. (120000 milliseconds) for the older version.

Syntax:

server.timeout

Parameters: It does not accept any argument as a parameter.

Return Value: This property returns the default timeout value in milliseconds.

Example 1: Filename: index.js

Javascript




// Node.js program to demonstrate the
// server.timeout APi
 
// Importing http module
const http = require('http');
 
// Setting up PORT
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;
 
// Creating http Server
const httpServer = http.createServer(
    function (request, response) {
 
        // Getting the reference of the
        // underlying socket object
        // by using socket API
        const value = response.socket;
 
        // Display result
        // by using end() api
        response.end("socket buffersize : "
            + value.bufferSize, 'utf8', () => {
                console.log("Displaying the result...");
 
                // Closing server by
                // using close() api
                httpServer.close(() => {
                    console.log("Server is closed")
                })
            });
    });
 
// Listening to http Server
// by using listen() api
httpServer.listen(PORT, () => {
    console.log("Server is running at port 3000...");
});
 
// Getting default timeout value
// by using timeout api
const v = httpServer.timeout
 
// Display the Timeout value
console.log('Default time out value :- ' + v)


Run the index.js file using the below command:

node index.js

Console output:

Default time out value :- 0
Server is running at port 3000...
Displaying the result...
Displaying the result...
Server is closed
Server is closed

Browser Output: Paste the localhost address http://localhost:3000/ in the search bar of the browser.

socket buffersize : 0

Example 2: Filename: index.js

Javascript




// Node.js program to demonstrate the
// server.timeout APi
 
// Importing http module
const http = require('http');
 
// Request and response handler
const http2Handlers = (request, response) => {
 
    // Getting the reference of the
    // underlying socket object
    // by using socket API
    const value = response.socket;
 
    // Display result
    // by using end() api
    response.end("socket local address : "
        + value.localAddress, 'utf8', () => {
            console.log("Displaying the result...");
 
            // Closing server
            // by using close() api
            httpServer.close(() => {
                console.log("Server is closed")
            })
        });
};
 
// Listening to http Server
// by using listen() api
const httpServer = http.createServer(
    http2Handlers).listen(3000, () => {
        console.log("Server is running at port 3000...");
    });
 
// Getting default timeout value
// by using timeout api
const v = httpServer.timeout
 
// Display the Default time
console.log('Default time out value :- ' + v)


Run the index.js file using the below command:

node index.js

Console Output:

Default time out value :- 0
Server is running at port 3000...
Displaying the result...
Displaying the result...
Server is closed
Server is closed

Browser Output: Paste the localhost address http://localhost:3000/ in the search bar of the browser.
