RX-Retry for JS and TS, using RxJS, support for Node.js & NestJS and browsers

Has default configuration of random-backoff retry and backoff retry

Read this article for more details: AWS Exponential Backoff and Jitter

Provide handling for Observables AND Promises retries, with a configurable delay between retries.

Installation

npm i rx-retry

Usage

import { resolveWithRetry, ResolveRetryConfig, retryBackoff } from 'rx-retry'
import { throwError } from 'rxjs'

// Use on a promise
;(() => {
    const prm = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
            reject(new Error('Promise error'))
        }, 1000)
    })

    const configuration: ResolveRetryConfig = {
        timeoutTime: 5000, // set timeout to fail the promise and retry, default is 0
        useJitter: true, // backoff strategy with random + exponantial delay, default is true
        retryStrategy: {
            initialInterval: 1000, // ms
            maxRetries: 3,
            onRetry: (attempt: number, error: Error) => {
                console.log('Log this - retry') // adding action on retry
            },
            maxInterval: 10000, // ms
            shouldRetry: (error) => true, // check if retry needed, default is always true
        },
    }
    const res = await resolveWithRetry(prm, configuration)
})()

// Use on Observable, will be converted into promise
;(() => {
    const obs = throwError('Observable error')

    const configuration: ResolveRetryConfig = {
        timeoutTime: 5000, // set timeout to fail the promise and retry, default is 0
        useJitter: true, // backoff strategy with random + exponantial delay, default is true
        retryStrategy: {
            initialInterval: 1000, // ms
            maxRetries: 3,
            onRetry: (attempt: number, error: Error) => {
                console.log('Log this - retry') // adding action on retry
            },
            maxInterval: 10000, // ms
            shouldRetry: (error) => true, // check if retry needed, default is always true
        },
    }
    const res = await resolveWithRetry(obs, configuration)
})()

// Using the custom operator function in a pipe
;(() => {
    const obs = throwError('Observable error')

    obs.pipe(
        retryBackoff({
            initialInterval: 1000,
            maxInterval: 10000,
            maxRetries: 5,
        }),
    )
})()

Out of the box support for NestJS

Module sync configuration

import { Module } from '@nestjs/common'
import { TestingService } from './testing.service'
import { RxRetryModule } from 'rx-retry'

@Module({
    imports: [
        RxRetryModule.register({
            timeoutTime: 5000, // set timeout to fail the promise and retry, default is 0
            useJitter: true, // backoff strategy with random + exponantial delay, default is true
            retryStrategy: {
                initialInterval: 1000, // ms
                maxRetries: 3,
                maxInterval: 10000, // ms
                shouldRetry: (error) => true, // check if retry needed, default is always true
            },
            isGlobal: true, // set module as global
        }),
