Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

retry-axios

Use Axios interceptors to automatically retry failed requests. Super flexible. Built in exponential backoff.

NPM Version GitHub Actions Known Vulnerabilities codecov style badge

Installation

npm install retry-axios

Usage

To use this library, import it alongside of axios:

// Just import rax and your favorite version of axios
const rax = require('retry-axios');
const axios = require('axios');

Or, if you're using TypeScript / es modules:

import * as rax from 'retry-axios';
import axios from 'axios';

You can attach to the global axios object, and retry 3 times by default:

const interceptorId = rax.attach();
const res = await axios('https://test.local');

Or you can create your own axios instance to make scoped requests:

const myAxiosInstance = axios.create();
myAxiosInstance.defaults.raxConfig = {
  instance: myAxiosInstance
};
const interceptorId = rax.attach(myAxiosInstance);
const res = await myAxiosInstance.get('https://test.local');

You have a lot of options...

const interceptorId = rax.attach();
const res = await axios({
  url: 'https://test.local',
  raxConfig: {
    // Retry 3 times on requests that return a response (500, etc) before giving up.  Defaults to 3.
    retry: 3,

    // Retry twice on errors that don't return a response (ENOTFOUND, ETIMEDOUT, etc).
    // 'noResponseRetries' is limited by the 'retry' value.
    noResponseRetries: 2,

    // Milliseconds to delay at first.  Defaults to 100. Only considered when backoffType is 'static'
    retryDelay: 100,

    // HTTP methods to automatically retry.  Defaults to:
    // ['GET', 'HEAD', 'OPTIONS', 'DELETE', 'PUT']
    httpMethodsToRetry: ['GET', 'HEAD', 'OPTIONS', 'DELETE', 'PUT'],

    // The response status codes to retry.  Supports a double
    // array with a list of ranges.  Defaults to:
    // [[100, 199], [429, 429], [500, 599]]
    statusCodesToRetry: [[100, 199], [429, 429], [500, 599]],

    // If you are using a non static instance of Axios you need
    // to pass that instance here (const ax = axios.create())
    instance: ax,

    // You can set the backoff type.
    // options are 'exponential' (default), 'static' or 'linear'
    backoffType: 'exponential',

    // You can detect when a retry is happening, and figure out how many
    // retry attempts have been made
    onRetryAttempt: err => {
      const cfg = rax.getConfig(err);
      console.log(`Retry attempt #${cfg.currentRetryAttempt}`);
    }
  }
});

If the logic in onRetryAttempt requires to be asynchronous, you can return a promise, then retry will be executed only after the promise is resolved:

const res = await axios({
  url: 'https://test.local',
  raxConfig: {
    onRetryAttempt: err => {
      return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        // call a custom asynchronous function
        refreshToken(err, function(token, error) {
          if (!error) {
            window.localStorage.setItem('token', token);
            resolve();
          } else {
            reject();
          }
        });
      });
    }
  }
});

Or if you want, you can just decide if it should retry or not:

const res = await axios({
  url: 'https://test.local',
  raxConfig: {
    // Override the decision making process on if you should retry
    shouldRetry: err => {
      const cfg = rax.getConfig(err);
      return true;
    }
  }
});

If you want to add custom retry logic without duplicating too much of the built-in logic, rax.shouldRetryRequest will tell you if a request would normally be retried:

const res = await axios({
  url: 'https://test.local',
  raxConfig: {
    // Override the decision making process on if you should retry
    shouldRetry: err => {
      const cfg = rax.getConfig(err);
      if (cfg.currentRetryAttempt >= cfg.retry) return false // ensure max retries is always respected

      // Always retry this status text, regardless of code or request type
      if (err.response.statusText.includes('Try again')) return true

      // Handle the request based on your other config options, e.g. `statusCodesToRetry`
      return rax.shouldRetryRequest(err)
    }
  }
});

How it works

This library attaches an interceptor to an axios instance you pass to the API. This way you get to choose which version of axios you want to run, and you can compose many interceptors on the same request pipeline.
