Retry Strategy
- retry:
retry supports both fixed and exponential backoff strategies, giving you the flexibility to define how retries are handled based on your application's needs.
- promise-retry:
promise-retry offers a simple retry strategy that can be customized with a delay function, allowing you to control the timing of retries based on the error type or other conditions.
- async-retry:
async-retry allows for custom retry strategies, including exponential backoff and fixed delays. You can specify how long to wait between retries and how many attempts to make before failing.
- retry-request:
retry-request provides a straightforward retry mechanism for HTTP requests, allowing you to specify the number of retries and the delay between attempts, suitable for simple use cases.
- backoff:
backoff provides built-in support for exponential backoff strategies, allowing you to define the initial delay and the factor by which the delay increases with each retry, making it ideal for handling rate limits.
- retry-axios:
retry-axios allows you to configure retry strategies directly in your Axios requests, including setting retry limits and delays, making it easy to manage HTTP request failures.
Integration
- retry:
retry can be used with both callbacks and promises, making it a versatile choice for applications that may use either approach for asynchronous operations.
- promise-retry:
promise-retry is specifically tailored for promises, ensuring seamless integration with promise-based APIs and workflows, making it easy to implement in modern JavaScript applications.
- async-retry:
async-retry is designed to work independently and can be integrated into any promise-based workflow, providing flexibility in various environments.
- retry-request:
retry-request is built to work with the request library, making it ideal for legacy applications that rely on this library for HTTP requests.
- backoff:
backoff is a standalone library that can be used with any asynchronous operation, making it versatile for different use cases beyond just HTTP requests.
- retry-axios:
retry-axios is specifically designed for use with Axios, providing a seamless integration that allows you to add retry logic directly to your HTTP requests without additional setup.
Configuration Options
- retry:
retry offers flexible configuration options for retry attempts, delays, and error handling, allowing you to tailor the retry logic to fit your needs.
- promise-retry:
promise-retry provides straightforward configuration options, allowing you to specify the number of retries and a delay function, making it easy to set up and use.
- async-retry:
async-retry offers a wide range of configuration options, including the ability to customize the number of retries, delay between attempts, and conditions for retrying, providing great flexibility.
- retry-request:
retry-request provides basic configuration options for retry attempts and delays, making it easy to use without overwhelming complexity.
- backoff:
backoff allows for extensive configuration of backoff strategies, including setting maximum retry limits and customizing the backoff function, making it highly adaptable to specific requirements.
- retry-axios:
retry-axios allows you to configure retry options directly in your Axios instance, including retry limits and conditions, making it convenient for developers familiar with Axios.
Error Handling
- retry:
retry provides basic error handling capabilities, allowing you to specify which errors should be retried, but may require additional logic for more complex scenarios.
- promise-retry:
promise-retry allows for custom error handling by enabling you to define conditions under which retries should occur, ensuring that only relevant errors trigger a retry.
- async-retry:
async-retry allows you to specify error types that should trigger a retry, giving you control over which errors are retried and which are not, enhancing error handling capabilities.
- retry-request:
retry-request allows you to define which HTTP status codes should trigger a retry, providing a straightforward way to handle common HTTP errors.
- backoff:
backoff provides mechanisms to handle specific errors and can be configured to retry only on certain error types, making it useful for managing different failure scenarios.
- retry-axios:
retry-axios integrates error handling directly into Axios, allowing you to specify which HTTP status codes should trigger a retry, making it easy to manage API errors.
Documentation and Community Support
- retry:
retry has decent documentation, but may lack some advanced examples; however, it is widely used, providing a level of community support through forums and GitHub.
- promise-retry:
promise-retry has straightforward documentation that covers the basics, making it easy for developers to get started quickly with examples and use cases.
- async-retry:
async-retry has comprehensive documentation and a growing community, making it easy to find examples and support for implementation.
- retry-request:
retry-request has basic documentation that covers its usage, but as the request library is deprecated, community support may be limited.
- backoff:
backoff is well-documented with clear examples, and it has a supportive community that can assist with common use cases and issues.
- retry-axios:
retry-axios has good documentation that integrates with Axios documentation, making it easy for developers familiar with Axios to implement retry logic effectively.
