Simple Retry Fetch

A lightweight, dead simple TypeScript utility for making HTTP requests with automatic retries using exponential backoff.

API

retryFetch(url, options?)

• url (string): The URL to fetch
• options (RetryFetchOptions): Configuration object extending RequestInit with:
  • retries (number): Maximum number of retry attempts (default: 3)
  • retryDelay (function): Function to calculate delay between retries in milliseconds (default: exponential backoff)
  • ...all standard fetch options

Returns: Promise<Response>

Default retry delay uses exponential backoff: attempt => Math.pow(2, attempt) * 1000
