Promise Repeater

Main

The promise repeater plugin allows you to "try" and repeat promises until they are resolved. It also allows you establish a margin of milliseconds between each try.

Methods

Method	Description
maxAttempts	Sets limit of attempts for retrying promise
unlimitedAttempts	Sets a infinite limit of attempts
delay	Sets a delay (in milliseconds) for each retry
start | attempt	Starts the process of resolving the promise and retrying until it is resolved

Usage

import { PromiseRepeater } from "https://deno.land/x/mandarinets/pluggins/promiseRepeater.ts";

let i = 0;
const promiseFunction = async () => {
    i++;
    console.log(`Attempt ${i}`);
    if(i < 3) throw new Error();
    console.log("Resolved");
    return true;
}

const val1 = await new PromiseRepeater(promiseFunction).maxAttempts(4).start();
i = 0;
const val2 = await new PromiseRepeater(promiseFunction).maxAttempts(4).delay(2000).start();
i = 0;
const val3 =  await new PromiseRepeater(promiseFunction).unlimitedAttempts().delay(1000).start();
i = 0;
const val4 = await new PromiseRepeater(promiseFunction).maxAttempts(1).start();

console.log(val1);
console.log(val2);
console.log(val3);
console.log(val4);
