node-fetch with native fetch + retry + timeout

Inspired by node-fetch-retry-timeout.

Tiny replacement for native fetch with additional benefits.

Installation

npm i @netly/node-fetch

Parameters

Same as in native fetch, but with small extension. Everything is optional.

parameter	type	description	default
retry	number	number of times to retry the request	3
timeout	number	number of ms to wait before request cancel	20_000
retryStrategy	Function	exponential backoff strategy	(times) => Math.min((2 ** times - 1) * 1000, 20000)
retryOnHttpResponse	Function	can retry based on http response statuses	(response) => response.status >= 500;

retry

retry?: number

timeout

timeout?: number

retryStrategy

Calculates how long to wait before next retry. times - the number of retry. To disable retry strategy: () => 0

retryStrategy: (times: number): number => Math.min((2 ** times - 1) * 1000, 20000);

retryOnHttpResponse

Check if response is desired. If no - throw error and send request one more time.

retryOnHttpResponse: (response: globalThis.Response) => response.status >= 500;
