How to implement GET request timeout for leader election?

Question

JavaScript

I'm trying to implement the leader Election algorithm for educational purposes.
Here is the TK https://github.com/peterservice-rnd/new-job/blob/m...

Inside the function that starts the election, there is a section of code in which you need to set a timeout for waiting for
a GET request for the route. I don't send requests, I wait for requests from other nodes. Something like
router.get('/IAMTHEKING/:id', setLeaderId);

...
const setLeaderAnswerTimeout = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    timeoutId = setTimeout(() => reject('leaderAnswer timeout'), process.env.CHECK_PERIOD);
});

await Promise.race([setLeaderAnswerTimeout, waitLeaderAnswer]);
...

waitLeaderAnswer must return resolve if the request has arrived, if there is no request, then reject must be returned by timeout.

I also thought about the request.timeout options or plugging in the middleware.
