Package Exports

requestretry

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (requestretry) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Request-retry

When the connection fails with one of ECONNRESET, ENOTFOUND, ESOCKETTIMEDOUT, ETIMEDOUT, ECONNREFUSED, EHOSTUNREACH or when an HTTP 5xx error occurrs, the request will automatically be re-attempted as these are often recoverable errors and will go away on retry.

Usage

Request-retry is a drop-in replacement for request but adds two new options maxAttempts and retryDelay.

var request = require('requestretry');

request({
  url: 'https://api.domain.com/v1/a/b'
  json:true,

  // The above parameters are specific to Request-retry:
  maxAttempts: 5,   // (default) try 5 times
  retryDelay: 5000  // (default) wait for 5s before trying again
}, function(err, response, body){
  // this callback will only be called when the request succeeded or after maxAttempts or on error
});

Installation

Install with npm.

npm install --save requestretry
