Retry failed api calls with an exponential back off time

All Contributors

Build Status

🛠 Installation

yarn add @viveknayyar/re-promise

or

npm i @viveknayyar/re-promise --save

🧠 Usage

// some js function in your code which fetches users data

const fetchUser = id => {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    setTimeout(() => {
      resolve({ id: 'vivek', name: 'vivek' });
    }, 10);
  });
};
// with es6 await
import { retryPromise } from '@viveknayyar/re-promise';

async function retryAndFetchUser(id) {
  try {
    // await on this promise to resolve if you are using es6 await
    const resp = await retryPromise({
      fn: () => fetchUser(id),
      retries: 3,
      retryDelay: 2000,
      retryOn: function(e) {
        return [500, 502].includes(e.response.status);
      }
    });
  } catch (e) {
    console.log(e);
    return Promise.reject(e);
  }
}
// with traditional promises
import { retryPromise } from '@viveknayyar/re-promise';

function retryAndFetchUsers(id) {
  return retryPromise({
    fn: () => fetchUser(id),
    retries: 3,
    retryDelay: 2000,
    retryOn: function(e) {
      return [500, 502].includes(e.response.status);
    }
  }).then(resp => {
    return resp;
  }).catch(e => {
    console.log(e);
    return Promise.reject(e);
  });
}

🧩 Api

Props Type Default Description
fn function null function to call which should return a promise
retries number 3 The maximum amount of times to retry the operation.
retryDelay number 3000 The number of milliseconds before starting the retry.
retryOn function null function to specify a custom logic to decide if retry should be done or not
backOffFactor function 1 The exponential factor to use. Default is 1
debug boolean false print information around retry attempts

fn (required)

This function will be called every time we want to retry a promise or an api call. Make sure you return a promise from this function. It has the following signature:

function fn() {
  return axios.get('some url');
}

retryOn (not compulsory)

This function will be called every time we have to decide if the promise should be retried or not. This function will be called with the error object so you can put in logic inside this function to return true or false based on which we will decide if the api call should be retried or not.

function retryOn(error) {
  // logic to retry on certain status codes
  return [502,500].includes(error.response.status);
}

backOffFactor (not compulsory)

This param will decide the exponential delay between retry attempts. For example:

// with es6 await and backOffFactor
import { retryPromise } from '@viveknayyar/re-promise';

async function retryAndFetchUser(id) {
  try {
    // await on this promise to resolve if you are using es6 await
    const resp = await retryPromise({
      fn: () => fetchUser(id),
      retries: 3,
      retryDelay: 2000,
      backOffFactor: 3,
      retryOn: function(e) {
        return [500, 502].includes(e.response.status);
      }
    });
  } catch (e) {
    console.log(e);
    return Promise.reject(e);
  }
}

In the above case, our first retry call will happen after the retryDelay of 2000ms. The next retry call will now happen after retryDelay*backOffFactor which is 6000ms and similarly we will continue for the next call.
