fetch-retry-or-die

A wrapper around isomorphic-fetch that allows retries in case of request failure

Install

npm install [-S] fetch-retry-or-die

Usage

const fetch = require('fetch-retry-or-die');

let url = 'http://some.url'
fetch(url, {maxRetries: 5, retryDelay: 500})
  .then((response) => {
    // do something with the response
    ...
  });

Options

• maxRetries: the maximum number of allowed retries. Defaults to 1.
• retryDelay: the delay between retries in milliseconds. Defaults to 100.

Handles HTTP error statuses

• Standard fetch functionality does not reject the promise on HTTP error status codes like 500.
• fetch-retry-or-die rejects the promise if the status code is not 2XX or 404 (no need to retry if resource wasn't found, right?).
