What is @humanwhocodes/retry?

@humanwhocodes/retry is an npm package designed to simplify the process of retrying asynchronous operations. It provides a flexible and configurable way to handle retries, making it easier to manage operations that may fail intermittently, such as network requests or database queries.

What are @humanwhocodes/retry's main functionalities?

Basic Retry

This feature allows you to retry a function a specified number of times if it fails. In this example, the `fetchData` function is retried up to 5 times until it succeeds.

const { retry } = require('@humanwhocodes/retry');

async function fetchData() {
  // Simulate a function that may fail
  if (Math.random() < 0.7) {
    throw new Error('Fetch failed');
  }
  return 'Data fetched successfully';
}

retry(fetchData, { retries: 5 })
  .then(result => console.log(result))
  .catch(error => console.error(error));

Exponential Backoff

This feature allows you to implement exponential backoff, where the wait time between retries increases exponentially. In this example, the `fetchData` function is retried up to 5 times with an increasing delay between each retry.

const { retry } = require('@humanwhocodes/retry');

async function fetchData() {
  if (Math.random() < 0.7) {
    throw new Error('Fetch failed');
  }
  return 'Data fetched successfully';
}

retry(fetchData, { retries: 5, factor: 2, minTimeout: 1000 })
  .then(result => console.log(result))
  .catch(error => console.error(error));

Custom Retry Logic

This feature allows you to define custom retry logic by providing a `shouldRetry` function. In this example, the `shouldRetry` function logs each failed attempt and always returns true to continue retrying.

const { retry } = require('@humanwhocodes/retry');

async function fetchData() {
  if (Math.random() < 0.7) {
    throw new Error('Fetch failed');
  }
  return 'Data fetched successfully';
}

retry(fetchData, {
  retries: 5,
  shouldRetry: (error, attempt) => {
    console.log(`Attempt ${attempt} failed: ${error.message}`);
    return true;
  }
})
  .then(result => console.log(result))
  .catch(error => console.error(error));
