# backoff-policy

In order to help developers wait if things are failing, this library aims to provide some useful methods.

The idea is that, you start a policy, in a loop, you do some work, if this fails, you mark it failed, if it passes, you mark it success.

This library will take care of delaying the work.

Code ideation:

```go

package main

import (

	"time"

	"github.com/honestbank/backoff-policy"

)

func process() error {

	// do work?

	return nil

}

func main() {

	policy := backoff_policy.NewExponentialBackoffPolicy(time.Millisecond * 100, 15)

	queue := getQueue()

	for ; ; {

		policy.Execute(func(marker backoff_policy.Marker) {

			message := queue.GetNewMessage()

			err := process(message)

			if err != nil {

				marker.MarkFailure()

				// log something, obviously...

				return

			}

			// queue.Ack(message)

			marker.MarkSuccess()

		})

	}

}

```
