promise-fn-retry

Appearance

Installation ​

bash
npm install promise-fn-retry

ESM ​

ts
import retry from 'promise-fn-retry';

const data = await retry(() => fetch('https://api.example.com/data'));

The named export is the same function as the default:

ts
import { retry } from 'promise-fn-retry';

CommonJS ​

require returns the function directly, exactly like v1:

js
const retry = require('promise-fn-retry');

retry(() => fetch('https://api.example.com/data'), { times: 3 });

The value exports BailError and AttemptTimeoutError are attached, too:

js
const { BailError, AttemptTimeoutError } = require('promise-fn-retry');

Compatibility ​

  • Runtimes: modern browsers and Node >= 12.
  • Modules: ESM (import) and CommonJS (require).
  • Types: bundled — TypeScript users need nothing extra.
  • Dependencies: none.

Some capabilities use platform features when present: cancellation and attemptTimeout's abort rely on AbortController/AbortSignal (Node ≥ 15 or a browser). Where they're absent, attemptTimeout still times out an attempt; it just can't abort the in-flight work.
