timeout

A VERY simple library for timing-out a potentially infinitely-running function call

Installation

  1. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

    dependencies:
  timeout:
    github: dscottboggs/timeout

  2. Run shards install

Usage

require "timeout"

Timeout(String).try_for 1.second do
  # some maybe long-running code
end

Unfortunately, for now you must specify the return-type of the block, due to a restriction in Crystal's type system.
