ajaxRetry

Exponentially retry $.ajax requests

 

Installation

npm install --save ajaxretry

 
In your client app main.js, add the following line to default retry settings:

require('ajaxretry');

Or override any of the default settings using set: passing keyword arguments

require('ajaxretry').set({ y:0.3 });

 

Usage

The default settings are:

{
  base: 2.718281828,
  y: 0.25,
  retryCount: 3
}

 

For $.ajax requets (also shorthand $.get and .post), pass exhaust in the options object as a callback function to run when retries fail

• please note that exhaust supersedes the error callback
• if exhaust method is not passed, retries will end without further action
• the returned jqXHR object has been extended with the ajax request options,
  thus allowing jqXHR.type, jqXHR.url, etcetera

$.ajax({
  url: '/test',
  type: 'GET',
  exhaust : function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
    // Handle Internal Server Error
  }
});
