@latest Build Status

Usage

Browsers

Load @octokit/plugin-retry and @octokit/core (or core-compatible module) directly from cdn.skypack.dev

<script type="module">
  import { Octokit } from "https://cdn.skypack.dev/@octokit/core";
  import { retry } from "https://cdn.skypack.dev/@octokit/plugin-retry";
</script>
Node

Install with npm install @octokit/core @octokit/plugin-retry. Optionally replace @octokit/core with a core-compatible module

const { Octokit } = require("@octokit/core");
const { retry } = require("@octokit/plugin-retry");

const MyOctokit = Octokit.plugin(retry);
const octokit = new MyOctokit({ auth: "secret123" });

// retries request up to 3 times in case of a 500 response
octokit.request("/").catch((error) => {
  if (error.request.request.retryCount) {
    console.log(
      `request failed after ${error.request.request.retryCount} retries`
    );
  }

  console.error(error);
});

To override the default doNotRetry list:

const octokit = new MyOctokit({
  auth: "secret123",
  retry: {
    doNotRetry: [
      /* List of HTTP 4xx/5xx status codes */
    ],
  },
});

To override the number of retries:

const octokit = new MyOctokit({
  auth: "secret123",
  request: { retries: 1 },
});

You can manually ask for retries for any request by passing { request: { retries: numRetries, retryAfter: delayInSeconds }}

octokit
  .request("/", { request: { retries: 1, retryAfter: 1 } })
  .catch((error) => {
    if (error.request.request.retryCount) {
      console.log(
        `request failed after ${error.request.request.retryCount} retries`
      );
    }

    console.error(error);
  });

Pass { retry: { enabled: false } } to disable this plugin.
