Retry API calls upon RestException

Install

yarn add @rc-ex/retry

Usage

import RingCentral from '@rc-ex/core';
import RetryExtension from '@rc-ex/retry';

const rc = new RingCentral(...);
const retryExtension = new RetryExtension(retryOptions);
await rc.installExtension(retryExtension);

Options

RetryOptions

RetryExtension constructor accepts optional RetryOptions as parameter:

type RetryOptions = {
  shouldRetry?: ShouldRetry;
  retryInterval?: RetryInterval;
};

ShouldRetry

ShouldRetry defines condition about should retry or abort:

type ShouldRetry = (
  restException: RestException,
  retriesAttempted: number,
) => boolean;

By default, ShouldRetry returns true when restException.response.status is 429 or 503 and retriesAttempted is smaller than 3:

((restException, retriesAttempted) => {
  return retriesAttempted < 3 &&
    [429, 503].includes(restException.response.status);
});

RetryInterval

RetryInterval defines how long should wait before try:

type RetryInterval = (
  restException: RestException,
  retriesAttempted: number,
) => number;

By default RetryInterval is 60 seconds with exponential back off:

((restException, retriesAttempted) => {
  return 60 * 1000 * Math.pow(2, retriesAttempted); // exponential back off
});
