axios-retry

Axios plugin that intercepts failed requests and retries them whenever possible.

Installation

npm install axios-retry

Usage

// CommonJS
// const axiosRetry = require('axios-retry').default;

// ES6
import axiosRetry from 'axios-retry';

axiosRetry(axios, { retries: 3 });

axios.get('http://example.com/test') // The first request fails and the second returns 'ok'
  .then(result => {
    result.data; // 'ok'
  });

// Exponential back-off retry delay between requests
axiosRetry(axios, { retryDelay: axiosRetry.exponentialDelay });

// Liner retry delay between requests
axiosRetry(axios, { retryDelay: axiosRetry.linearDelay() });

// Custom retry delay
axiosRetry(axios, { retryDelay: (retryCount) => {
  return retryCount * 1000;
}});

// Works with custom axios instances
const client = axios.create({ baseURL: 'http://example.com' });
axiosRetry(client, { retries: 3 });

client.get('/test') // The first request fails and the second returns 'ok'
  .then(result => {
    result.data; // 'ok'
  });

// Allows request-specific configuration
client
  .get('/test', {
    'axios-retry': {
      retries: 0
    }
  })
  .catch(error => { // The first request fails
    error !== undefined
  });

Note: Unless shouldResetTimeout is set, the plugin interprets the request timeout as a global value, so it is not used for each retry but for the whole request lifecycle.

Options

Name	Type	Default	Description
retries	`Number`	`3`	The number of times to retry before failing. 1 = One retry after first failure
retryCondition	`Function`	`isNetworkOrIdempotentRequestError`	A callback to further control if a request should be retried. By default, it retries if it is a network error or a 5xx error on an idempotent request (GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, PUT or DELETE).
shouldResetTimeout	`Boolean`	false	Defines if the timeout should be reset between retries
retryDelay	`Function`	`function noDelay() { return 0; }`	A callback to further control the delay in milliseconds between retried requests. By default there is no delay between retries. Another option is exponentialDelay (Exponential Backoff) or `linearDelay`. The function is passed `retryCount` and `error`.
onRetry	`Function`	`function onRetry(retryCount, error, requestConfig) { return; }`	A callback to notify when a retry is about to occur. Useful for tracing and you can any async process for example refresh a token on 401. By default nothing will occur. The function is passed `retryCount`, `error`, and `requestConfig`.
onMaxRetryTimesExceeded	`Function`	`function onMaxRetryTimesExceeded(error, retryCount) { return; }`	After all the retries are failed, this callback will be called with the last error before throwing the error.
validateResponse	`Function \\| null`	`null`	A callback to define whether a response should be resolved or rejected. If null is passed, it will fallback to the axios default (only 2xx status codes are resolved).
