async-retry

Retrying made simple, easy, and async.

Usage

``js
// Packages
const retry = require('async-retry');
const fetch = require('node-fetch');

await retry(
async (bail) => {
// if anything throws, we retry
const res = await fetch('https://google.com');

if (403 === res.status) {
// don't retry upon 403
bail(new Error('Unauthorized'));
return;
}

const data = await res.text();
return data.substr(0, 500);
},
{
retries: 5,
}
);
`

$3

`js
retry(retrier : Function, opts : Object) => Promise
`

- The supplied function can be async or not. In other words, it can be a function that returns a Promise or a value.
- The supplied function receives two parameters
1. A Function you can invoke to abort the retrying (bail)
2. A Number identifying the attempt. The absolute first attempt (before any retries) is 1.
- The opts are passed to node-retry. Read its docs
- retries: The maximum amount of times to retry the operation. Default is 10.
- factor: The exponential factor to use. Default is 2.
- minTimeout: The number of milliseconds before starting the first retry. Default is 1000.
- maxTimeout: The maximum number of milliseconds between two retries. Default is Infinity.
- randomize: Randomizes the timeouts by multiplying with a factor between 1 to 2. Default is true.
- onRetry: an optional Function that is invoked after a new retry is performed. It's passed the Error` that triggered it as a parameter.
