backoff-rxjs
A collection of helpful RxJS operators to deal with backoff strategies (like exponential backoff)

intervalBackoff
intervalBackoff
works similarly to interval
except that it doubles the delay between emissions every time.
name | type | attribute | description |
---|
config | number \ IntervalBackoffConfig | required | Can take number as initial interval or a config with initial interval, optional max Interval and optional backoff delay function (exponential by default) |
interval
is especially useful for periodic polls that are reset whenever user activity is detected:
fromEvent(document, 'mousemove').pipe(
// There could be many mousemoves, we'd want to sample only
// with certain frequency
sampleTime(LOAD_INTERVAL_MS),
// Start immediately
startWith(null),
// Resetting exponential interval
switchMapTo(
intervalBackoff({
initialInterval: LOAD_INTERVAL_MS,
maxInterval: MAX_INTERVAL_MS
})
)
);
retryBackoff
name | type | attribute | description |
---|
config | number \ RetryBackoffConfig | required | Can take number as initial interval or a config with initial interval, optional max Interval, optional max number of retry attempts, optional function to cancel reties and optional backoff delay function (exponential by default) |
this.service.callBackend().pipe(
retryBackoff({
initialInterval: 100,
maxRetries: 12,
// 👇 resets retries count and delays between them to init values
resetOnSuccess: true
})
)
