🚀 ts-async-kit
A lightweight TypeScript library that provides an easy-to-use API for dealing with common promise-related operations such as retrying and looping.
Installation
To install ts-async-kit in your project, simply run:
pnpm i ts-async-kit
Usage
Retry ↩️
Sometimes, a promise may fail due to a temporary issue such as a network error. In such cases, retrying the operation can be a useful strategy. With ts-async-kit, you can easily retry a promise until it succeeds or reaches a maximum number of attempts.
Here's an example:
import { retry } from 'ts-async-kit';
const fetchData = async () => {
// Fetch data from an API
};
const result = await retry(fetchData, { maxRetries: 3 })
In the above example, fetchData is called up to three times, and the result is logged to the console if successful. If all attempts fail, an error is thrown.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|
| MaxRetries (Optional) | How many times the function will be executed |
| Interval (Optional) | How long the function should wait to retry it again |
| Timeout (Optional) | How long the function should wait until stops the function execution (and fail) |
| backoffFactor (Optional) | How much the interval should increase after each retry |
| onRetry (Optional) | Callback function that can be called with the error when a function is retried |
| onFail (Optional) | Callback function that can be called with the error when the function execution finishes by MaxRetries OR Timeout |
Sleep 😴
Sometimes, you just want to block the current flow of execution and wait a certain time. For you don't waste time searching
on StackOverflow, we shipped a function that easily does that. It's called sleep.
Here's an example:
import { sleep } from 'ts-async-kit'
await sleep(1000) // Time in ms to sleep
Loop (WIP) 🏃♂️
Sometimes, you may need to perform a task repeatedly, such as polling an API for updates. With ts-async-kit, you can control how your loop will work. Error-tolerant, concurrent operations, until a condition is met, maximum number of iterations and so on...
Here's an example:
import { map } from 'ts-async-kit';
const data = [1, 2, 3]
const pollApi = async (id: number) => {
// Poll an API for updates
};
const result = await map(data, pollApi, { concurrency: 2 })
In the above example, pollApi is called up until it finishes executing two promises concurrently. If all iterations fail, an error is thrown.
