Angular $http config timeout

Question

As documented in the angular docs,

timeout – {number|Promise} – timeout in milliseconds, or promise that should abort the request when resolved.

Right now I am setting timeout to promise, so I can manually cancel the request by promise.resolve().

Right now, I also want to make it capable to config timeout value, instead of having the request timeout being 120 seconds.

How can I configure it without affecting the existing cancel request functionality?

You could do somthing like this

$scope.qPromiseCall = function()
{
       var timeoutPromise = $timeout(function()
       {       
               //aborts the request when timed out
               canceler.resolve(); 
               console.log("Timed out");
        }, 250); 

//we set a timeout for 250ms and store the promise in order to be cancelled later if the data does not arrive within 250ms

     var canceler = $q.defer();
     $http.get("data.js", {timeout: canceler.promise} )
     .success(function(data)
     {
           console.log(data);
           $timeout.cancel(timeoutPromise);
           //cancel the timer when we get a response within 250ms
    });

  }
