## Install
|
9
|
|
10
|
```
|

|
## Usage
|
16
|
|
17
|
```js
|
18
|
const pRetry = require('p-retry');
|
19
|
const fetch = require('node-fetch');
|
20
|
|
21
|
const run = async () => {
|
22
|
const response = await fetch('https://sindresorhus.com/unicorn');
|
23
|
|
24
|
// Abort retrying if the resource doesn't exist
|
25
|
if (response.status === 404) {
|
26
|
throw new pRetry.AbortError(response.statusText);
|
27
|
}
|
28
|
|
29
|
return response.blob();
|
30
|
};
|
31
|
|
32
|
(async () => {
|
33
|
console.log(await pRetry(run, {retries: 5}));
|
34
|
})();
|
35
|
```
|
36
|
|
37
|
With the `onFailedAttempt` option:
|
38
|
|
39
|
```js
|
40
|
const run = async () => {
|
41
|
const response = await fetch('https://sindresorhus.com/unicorn');
|
42
|
|
43
|
if (response.status !== 200) {
|
44
|
throw new Error(response.statusText);
|
45
|
}
|
46
|
|
47
|
return response.json();
|
48
|
};
|
49
|
|
50
|
(async () => {
|
51
|
const result = await pRetry(run, {
|
52
|
onFailedAttempt: error => {
|
53
|
console.log(`Attempt ${error.attemptNumber} failed. There are ${error.retriesLeft} retries left.`);
|
54
|
// 1st request => Attempt 1 failed. There are 4 retries left.
|
55
|
// 2nd request => Attempt 2 failed. There are 3 retries left.
|
56
|
// …
|
57
|
},
|
58
|
retries: 5
|
59
|
});
|
60
|
|
61
|
console.log(result);
|
62
|
})();
|
63
|
```
|
64

## API
|
67
|
|
68
|
### pRetry(input, [options])
|
69
|
|
70
|
Returns a `Promise` that is fulfilled when calling `input` returns a fulfilled promise. If calling `input` returns a rejected promise, `input` is called again until the max retries are reached, it then rejects with the last rejection reason.
|
71
|
|
72
|
It doesn't retry on `TypeError` as that's a user error.
|
73
|
|
74
|
#### input
|
75
|
|
76
|
Type: `Function`
|
77
|
|
78
|
Receives the number of attempts as the first argument and is expected to return a `Promise` or any value.
|
79
|
|
80
|
#### options
|
81
|
|
82
|
Type: `Object`
|
83
|
|
84
|
Options are passed to the [`retry`](https://github.com/tim-kos/node-retry#retryoperationoptions) module.
|
85
|
|
86
|
##### onFailedAttempt(error)
|
87
|
|
88
|
Type: `Function`
|
89
|
|
90
|
Callback invoked on each retry. Receives the error thrown by `input` as the first argument with properties `attemptNumber` and `retriesLeft` which indicate the current attempt number and the number of attempts left, respectively.
|
91
|
|
92
|
### pRetry.AbortError(message|error)
|
93
|
|
94
|
Abort retrying and reject the promise.
|
95
|
|
96
|
### message
|
97
|
|
98
|
Type: `string`
|
99
|
|
100
|
Error message.
|
101
|
|
102
|
### error
|
103
|
|
104
|
Type: `Error`
|
105
|
|
106
|
Custom error.
|
107
|
|
108
|
|
109
|
## Tip
|
110
|
|
111
|
You can pass arguments to the function being retried by wrapping it in an inline arrow function:
|
112
|
|
113
|
```js
|
114
|
const pRetry = require('p-retry');
|
115
|
|
116
|
const run = async emoji => {
|
117
|
// …
|
118
|
};
|
119
|
|
120
|
(async () => {
|
121
|
// Without arguments
|
122
|
await pRetry(run, {retries: 5});
|
123
|
|
124
|
// With arguments
|
125
|
await pRetry(() => run('🦄'), {retries: 5});
|
126
|
})();
|
127
|
```
