# Simple Retry

[![CI](https://github.com/spider-gazelle/simple_retry/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/spider-gazelle/simple_retry/actions/workflows/ci.yml)

A library for managing blocks of code that you might want to retry when an error occurs.

## Installation

1. Add the dependency to your `shard.yml`:

```yaml
dependencies:
simple_retry:
github: spider-gazelle/simple_retry
```

2. Run `shards install`

## Usage

```crystal
require "simple_retry"

SimpleRetry.try_to do
# Something that should succeed eventually
num = rand(10)
raise "bad number #{num}" if num < 5

# Return the number
num
end
```

There are a number of options you can use to customise

```crystal
require "simple_retry"

SimpleRetry.try_to(
# Runs the block at most 5 times
max_attempts: 5,
# Will always stop retrying on these errors
raise_on: DivisionByZeroError | ArgumentError,
# Will only retry on these errors
retry_on: Exception,
# Initial delay time after first retry
base_interval: 10.milliseconds,
# Exponentially increase delay up to this period
max_interval: 10.seconds,
# Adjust the exponential growth by a random amount
randomise: 10.milliseconds
) do |run_count : UInt64, last_error : Exception?, next_delay_time : Time::Span|
# Something that should succeed
end
```
