# DS.TimeoutError Class

Extends AdapterError
Defined in: `addon/-private/adapters/errors.js:187`
Module: ember-data

A `DS.TimeoutError` is used by an adapter to signal that a request to the external API has timed out. I.e. no response was received from the external API within an allowed time period.

An example use case would be to warn the user to check their internet connection if an adapter operation has timed out:

    import Route from '@ember/routing/route';
    import DS from 'ember-data';

    const { TimeoutError } = DS;

    export default Route.extend({
      actions: {
        error(error, transition) {
          if (error instanceof TimeoutError) {
            // alert the user
            alert('Are you still connected to the internet?');
            return;
          }

          // ...other error handling logic
        }
      }
    });
