waitWithTimeout

The waitWithTimeout function is a utility method provided by the web3.utils module that allows you to wait for a promise to resolve, but interrupts the wait if the promise does not resolve within a given timeout.

The function takes three arguments:

• awaitable: This is the promise or function that you want to wait for. It can be a <strong>Promise<T></strong> or an <strong>AsyncFunction<T, unknown></strong>.
• timeout: This is the timeout in milliseconds that you want to wait for the promise to resolve.
• error: This is an optional error object that you can provide to throw if the timeout is reached before the promise resolves. If you do not provide an error object, the function will return <strong>undefined</strong> instead.

The function returns a Promise that resolves with the value of the awaitable promise if it resolves within the given timeout. If the timeout is reached before the awaitable promise resolves, the function will either throw an error if one was provided or return undefined.

Here's an example of how you can use the waitWithTimeout function:

In this example, the waitWithTimeout function is called with a promise that resolves after 10 seconds, and a timeout of 10,000 milliseconds (10 seconds). If the promise resolves within the 10-second timeout, the function will return the resolved value of the promise. If the timeout is reached before the promise resolves, the function will throw an error.
