Usage

Basic Example

import FetchXY from 'fetch-xy';

const client = new FetchXY();

// Make a GET request
const response = await client.get('https://api.github.com/users/octocat');
console.log(response);
// Response will include:
// {
//   data: { ... },        // Response data
//   status: 200,          // HTTP status code
//   success: true,        // Boolean indicating if status is 2xx
//   headers: { ... },     // Response headers
//   attempts: 0,          // Number of retry attempts made
//   retries: 0,          // Total retries configured
//   retryDelay: 1000     // Delay between retries in ms
// }

// Make a request with retries
const responseWithRetries = await client.get('https://api.github.com/users/octocat', {
  retries: 3,             // Retry up to 3 times
  timeout: 5000,          // Timeout after 5 seconds
  retryDelay: 1000,       // Wait 1 second between retries
  retryIf: [408, 500]     // Only retry on timeout or server error
});

Advanced Configuration

const client = new FetchXY({
  // Default timeout of 5 seconds
  timeout: 5000,
  
  // Retry failed requests up to 3 times
  retries: 3,
  
  // Wait 2 seconds between retries
  retryDelay: 2000,
  
  // Retry on specific HTTP status codes
  retryIf: [408, 500, 502, 503, 504],
  
  // Default headers
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer your-token'
  }
});

Retry Configuration Examples

// Retry only on timeout (408) and server errors (500)
const client = new FetchXY({
  retries: 2,
  retryIf: [408, 500]
});

// Custom retry delay with specific status codes
const response = await client.get('https://api.example.com/data', {
  retries: 3,
  retryDelay: 1000, // 1 second between retries
  retryIf: [503, 504] // Retry only on service unavailable
});

// Timeout configuration
const response = await client.post('https://api.example.com/data', {
  timeout: 3000, // 3 second timeout
  retries: 2,    // Retry twice if timeout occurs
  data: {
    name: 'John Doe'
  }
});
