Creating a retry operation

This feature allows you to create a retry operation. You can specify the operation you want to retry, such as a network request. The `attempt` method is used to try the operation, and `retry` is called if the operation fails, until the maximum number of attempts is reached.

import * as retry from 'retry';

const operation = retry.operation();

operation.attempt((currentAttempt) => {
  // Your operation here, e.g., a network request
  if (networkError) {
    if (operation.retry(networkError)) {
      return;
    }
    // Handle the network error after max retries
  }
});

Customizing retry options

This feature demonstrates how to customize the retry operation with specific options. You can set the maximum number of retries, the exponential backoff factor, minimum and maximum timeout between retries, and whether to randomize the retry intervals.

import * as retry from 'retry';

const operation = retry.operation({
  retries: 5, // Maximum number of attempts
  factor: 2, // The exponential factor
  minTimeout: 1 * 1000, // The number of milliseconds before starting the first retry
  maxTimeout: 60 * 1000, // The maximum number of milliseconds between two retries
  randomize: true, // Randomizes the timeouts by multiplying with a factor between 1 to 2
});
