What is this travesty?

It's simply a powerful wrapper around the getDoc method from firebase/firestore!

What can it do?

It currently supports automatic or configured caching and automatic retries. Basically, you can set a persistent cache time for a document and have it be enforced globally whenever you use getDocWrapper or you can set a one-time cache for one specific request, or you can completely bypass both! You can also choose to retry a request a maximum amount of times, with or without a delay, or even only on specific Firestore errors!

Usage

const docData = await getDocWrapper(db, "path/to/your/document", {
    cacheOptions: {
	    enabled: true,
	    cacheTime: {
		    locked: true,
		    time: 70000,
		    bypassLockedTime: false
		},
		forceRefresh: false
    },
    retryOptions: {
	    enabled: true,
	    maxRetries: 7,
	    retryDelay: 5000,
	    retryOnErrorCode: ["deadline-exceeded"]
    }
}

Parameters

TO-DO but they're pretty self-explanatory, and there's a JSDoc for the function explaning the different cache types.

Troubleshooting

If getDocWrapper isn't retrying on specific errors make sure you are using them as they come from Firebase, i.e: lower-case letters and hyphens instead of upper-case letters and underscores. This can be easily implemented but currently there's no need to as I only built this library for personal use, if it starts to gain some traction, I'll be happy to do it!
