Context Timeout

ContextTimeout wraps the request context with a deadline before the rest of the chain runs.

Quick start

app.Use(middleware.ContextTimeout(2 * time.Second))

Config fields

Field	Meaning
Skipper	Skip timeout handling for selected requests
Timeout	Required timeout duration
ErrorHandler	Customize timeout failures

Accessing timeout state

info, ok := middleware.ContextTimeoutCurrent(c)
remaining, ok := middleware.ContextTimeoutRemaining(c)

ContextTimeoutInfo contains:

• Timeout
• Deadline

Error behavior

If the handler chain returns context.DeadlineExceeded, Zinc wraps it in *middleware.ContextTimeoutError.

The default error handler returns 503 Service Unavailable joined with the timeout error.

Example

app.Use(middleware.ContextTimeoutWithConfig(middleware.ContextTimeoutConfig{
	Timeout: 2 * time.Second,
	ErrorHandler: func(c *zinc.Context, err *middleware.ContextTimeoutError) error {
		return zinc.ErrServiceUnavailable.WithMessage("request timed out")
	},
}))
