Retries a function that returns a promise, leveraging the power of the [retry](https://github.com/tim-kos/node-retry) module to the promises world.
|
|
|
|
There's already some modules that are able to retry functions that return promises but
|
|
they were rather difficult to use or do not offer an easy way to do conditional retries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
`$ npm install promise-retry`
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### promiseRetry(fn, [options])
|
|
|
|
Calls `fn` until the returned promise ends up fulfilled or rejected with an error different than
|
|
a `retry` error.
|
|
The `options` argument is an object which maps to the [retry](https://github.com/tim-kos/node-retry) module options:
|
|
|
|
- `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 `false`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `fn` function will receive a `retry` function as its first argument that should be called with an error whenever you want to retry `fn`. The `retry` function will always throw an error.
|
|
If there are retries left, it will throw a special `retry` error that will be handled internally to call `fn` again.
|
|
If there are no retries left, it will throw the actual error passed to it.
|
|
|
|
If you prefer, you can pass the options first using the alternative function signature `promiseRetry([options], fn)`.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
```js
|
|
var promiseRetry = require('promise-retry');
|
|
|
|
// Simple example
|
|
promiseRetry(function (retry, number) {
|
|
console.log('attempt number', number);
|
|
|
|
return doSomething()
|
|
.catch(retry);
|
|
})
|
|
.then(function (value) {
|
|
// ..
|
|
}, function (err) {
|
|
// ..
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// Conditional example
|
|
promiseRetry(function (retry, number) {
|
|
console.log('attempt number', number);
|
|
|
|
return doSomething()
|
|
.catch(function (err) {
|
|
if (err.code === 'ETIMEDOUT') {
|
|
retry(err);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
throw err;
|
|
});
|
|
})
|
|
.then(function (value) {
|
|
// ..
|
|
}, function (err) {
|
|
// ..
|
|
});
|
|
```
