# p-retry [](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/p-retry)
> Retry a promise-returning or async function
It does exponential backoff and supports custom retry strategies for failed operations.
## Install
```
$ npm install p-retry
```
## Usage
```js
const pRetry = require('p-retry');
const fetch = require('node-fetch');
const run = async () => {
const response = await fetch('https://sindresorhus.com/unicorn');
// Abort retrying if the resource doesn't exist
if (response.status === 404) {
throw new pRetry.AbortError(response.statusText);
}
return response.blob();
};
(async () => {
console.log(await pRetry(run, {retries: 5}));
})();
```
With the `onFailedAttempt` option:
```js
const run = async () => {
const response = await fetch('https://sindresorhus.com/unicorn');
if (response.status !== 200) {
throw new Error(response.statusText);
}
return response.json();
};
(async () => {
const result = await pRetry(run, {
onFailedAttempt: error => {
console.log(`Attempt ${error.attemptNumber} failed. There are ${error.retriesLeft} retries left.`);
// 1st request => Attempt 1 failed. There are 4 retries left.
// 2nd request => Attempt 2 failed. There are 3 retries left.
// …
},
retries: 5
});
console.log(result);
})();
```
## API
### pRetry(input, [options])
Returns a `Promise` that is fulfilled when calling `input` returns a fulfilled promise. If calling `input` returns a rejected promise, `input` is called again until the max retries are reached, it then rejects with the last rejection reason.
It doesn't retry on `TypeError` as that's a user error.
#### input
Type: `Function`
Receives the number of attempts as the first argument and is expected to return a `Promise` or any value.
#### options
Type: `Object`
Options are passed to the [`retry`](https://github.com/tim-kos/node-retry#retryoperationoptions) module.
##### onFailedAttempt(error)
Type: `Function`
Callback invoked on each retry. Receives the error thrown by `input` as the first argument with properties `attemptNumber` and `retriesLeft` which indicate the current attempt number and the number of attempts left, respectively.
### pRetry.AbortError(message|error)
Abort retrying and reject the promise.
### message
Type: `string`
Error message.
### error
Type: `Error`
Custom error.
## Tip
You can pass arguments to the function being retried by wrapping it in an inline arrow function:
```js
const pRetry = require('p-retry');
const run = async emoji => {
// …
};
(async () => {
// Without arguments
await pRetry(run, {retries: 5});
// With arguments
await pRetry(() => run('🦄'), {retries: 5});
})();
```
