强制http请求从前端超时

Question

I am making a single page application using angular, at times the backend services do not response or are down and browser takes very long time to timeout request.

How can I forcefully timeout an http request from frontend in lesser time, this will help me show message to user that backend is not responding.

$http config has a timeout property that you can set when making a request with $http .

If you want to get something done at global level for all $http can look at this SO post How to set a global http timeout in AngularJs
