This library supports `Go >= 1.22` by getting `github.com/arsham/retry/v3`. For
older versions (`Go >= 1.20`) import `github.com/arsham/retry/v2`, or older Go
versions import `github.com/arsham/retry`.
`Retry` calls your function, and if it errors it calls it again with a delay.
Eventually it returns the last error or nil if one call is successful.
```go
r := &retry.Retry{
Attempts: 666,
Delay: time.Millisecond,
}
err := r.Do(func() error {
// do some work.
return nil
})
```
You can provide multiple functions:
```go
err := r.Do(func() error {
return nil
}, func() error {
return nil
}}
```
You can use the `DoContext` and pass a context object to stop when the context
is cancelled:
```go
err := r.DoContext(ctx, func() error {
return nil
})
```
If you want to stop retrying you can return a special error:
```go
err := r.Do(func() error {
if specialCase {
return &retry.StopError{
Err: errors.New("a special stop"),
}
}
return nil
})
```
The standard behaviour is to delay the amount you set. You can pass any function
with this signature to change the delay behaviour:
```go
func(attempt int, delay time.Duration) time.Duration
```
You can also pass the `retry.IncrementalDelay` function that would increase the
delay with a jitter to prevent [Thundering
herd](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thundering_herd_problem).
```go
r := &retry.Retry{
Attempts: 666,
Delay: 10 * time.Millisecond,
Method: retry.IncrementalDelay,
}
err := r.Do(func() error {
if specialCase {
return &retry.StopError{
Err: errors.New("a special stop"),
}
}
return nil
})
```
