# p-retry
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> Retry a promise-returning or async function
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
It does exponential backoff and supports custom retry strategies for failed operations.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Install
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
$ npm install p-retry
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Usage
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const pRetry = require('p-retry');
 | 
						|
const fetch = require('node-fetch');
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const run = async () => {
 | 
						|
	const response = await fetch('https://sindresorhus.com/unicorn');
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	// Abort retrying if the resource doesn't exist
 | 
						|
	if (response.status === 404) {
 | 
						|
		throw new pRetry.AbortError(response.statusText);
 | 
						|
	}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	return response.blob();
 | 
						|
};
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
(async () => {
 | 
						|
	console.log(await pRetry(run, {retries: 5}));
 | 
						|
})();
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## API
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### pRetry(input, options?)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Returns a `Promise` that is fulfilled when calling `input` returns a fulfilled promise. If calling `input` returns a rejected promise, `input` is called again until the maximum number of retries is reached. It then rejects with the last rejection reason.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Does not retry on most `TypeErrors`, with the exception of network errors. This is done on a best case basis as different browsers have different [messages](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API/Using_Fetch#Checking_that_the_fetch_was_successful) to indicate this. See [whatwg/fetch#526 (comment)](https://github.com/whatwg/fetch/issues/526#issuecomment-554604080)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### input
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Type: `Function`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Receives the current attempt number as the first argument and is expected to return a `Promise` or any value.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### options
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Type: `object`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Options are passed to the [`retry`](https://github.com/tim-kos/node-retry#retryoperationoptions) module.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
##### onFailedAttempt(error)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Type: `Function`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Callback invoked on each retry. Receives the error thrown by `input` as the first argument with properties `attemptNumber` and `retriesLeft` which indicate the current attempt number and the number of attempts left, respectively.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const run = async () => {
 | 
						|
	const response = await fetch('https://sindresorhus.com/unicorn');
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	if (!response.ok) {
 | 
						|
		throw new Error(response.statusText);
 | 
						|
	}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	return response.json();
 | 
						|
};
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
(async () => {
 | 
						|
	const result = await pRetry(run, {
 | 
						|
		onFailedAttempt: error => {
 | 
						|
			console.log(`Attempt ${error.attemptNumber} failed. There are ${error.retriesLeft} retries left.`);
 | 
						|
			// 1st request => Attempt 1 failed. There are 4 retries left.
 | 
						|
			// 2nd request => Attempt 2 failed. There are 3 retries left.
 | 
						|
			// …
 | 
						|
		},
 | 
						|
		retries: 5
 | 
						|
	});
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	console.log(result);
 | 
						|
})();
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The `onFailedAttempt` function can return a promise. For example, you can do some async logging:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const pRetry = require('p-retry');
 | 
						|
const logger = require('./some-logger');
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const run = async () => { … };
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
(async () => {
 | 
						|
	const result = await pRetry(run, {
 | 
						|
		onFailedAttempt: async error => {
 | 
						|
			await logger.log(error);
 | 
						|
		}
 | 
						|
	});
 | 
						|
})();
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If the `onFailedAttempt` function throws, all retries will be aborted and the original promise will reject with the thrown error.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### pRetry.AbortError(message)
 | 
						|
### pRetry.AbortError(error)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Abort retrying and reject the promise.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### message
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Type: `string`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Error message.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### error
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Type: `Error`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Custom error.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Tip
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can pass arguments to the function being retried by wrapping it in an inline arrow function:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const pRetry = require('p-retry');
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const run = async emoji => {
 | 
						|
	// …
 | 
						|
};
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
(async () => {
 | 
						|
	// Without arguments
 | 
						|
	await pRetry(run, {retries: 5});
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	// With arguments
 | 
						|
	await pRetry(() => run('🦄'), {retries: 5});
 | 
						|
})();
 | 
						|
```
