# async-retry

Retrying made simple, easy, and async.

## Usage

```js
// Packages
const retry = require('async-retry');
const fetch = require('node-fetch');

await retry(
async (bail) => {
// if anything throws, we retry
const res = await fetch('https://google.com');

if (403 === res.status) {
// don't retry upon 403
bail(new Error('Unauthorized'));
return;
}

const data = await res.text();
return data.substr(0, 500);
},
{
retries: 5,
}
);
```

### API

```js
retry(retrier : Function, opts : Object) => Promise
```

- The supplied function can be `async` or not. In other words, it can be a function that returns a `Promise` or a value.
- The supplied function receives two parameters
1. A `Function` you can invoke to abort the retrying (bail)
2. A `Number` identifying the attempt. The absolute first attempt (before any retries) is `1`.
- The `opts` are passed to `node-retry`. Read [its docs](https://github.com/tim-kos/node-retry)
- `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 `true`.
- `onRetry`: an optional `Function` that is invoked after a new retry is performed. It's passed the `Error` that triggered it as a parameter.
