Overview

The premise behind the library is to be able to make retry calls with minimal fuss using native promises. The library will retry with increasing timeouts until your max timeout is reached and then the maximum number of attempts is also reached.

Usage

When creating a retry, it will take a function that you wish to retry, and optional parameters and then a function will be returned to you. Once you are ready to execute you can invoke the function and the retry will begin.

The basic usage is that we should be able to make a simple retry

const retry = require('easy-retry-promise-native')

const myFunction = () => {
  // do something
  return Promise.resolve('yay')
}

retry(myFunction)()
  .then((result) => {
    console.log(result)
  })

Options

There are a few options that can be set

name	type	default	description
maxAttemtps	int	3	the maximum number of attempts that the library will make
minTimeout	int	100	The smallest amount of time a delay will occur between attempts
maxTimeout	int	1000	The max amount of time a delay will occur between attempts

NOTE: you can set the maxAttempts to either 'inf' or 'infinite' to have it retry forever

you can pass options as an object when creating the retry

const func = retry(myFunction, { maxAttempts: 10 })
func()
