Add retry to axios when the api did not respond (ENOTFOUND, ETIMEDOUT, etc) to prevent network glitches #651
Description
Hi. Thanks for this module. It help´s me a lot!
Sometimes api´s freezes for one second or so. Or a minor network problem.
Why not retry on no response errors?
There is a package for axios. https://www.npmjs.com/package/retry-axios
There is a way to pin point the exact codes to retry,
you can retry only on no response,
or you can retry on specific http response codes.
i don´t know the proper response codes from the api that this could be useful
But I do think that 2 retries if the api does not respond is a good thing that can prevent minor network problems and guarantee more sucess on the delivering.
// Retry 3 times on requests that return a response (500, etc) before giving up. Defaults to 3.
retry: 3,
// Retry twice on errors that don't return a response (ENOTFOUND, ETIMEDOUT, etc).
noResponseRetries: 2,
// Milliseconds to delay at first. Defaults to 100. Only considered when backoffType is 'static'
retryDelay: 100,
// HTTP methods to automatically retry. Defaults to:
// ['GET', 'HEAD', 'OPTIONS', 'DELETE', 'PUT']
httpMethodsToRetry: ['GET', 'HEAD', 'OPTIONS', 'DELETE', 'PUT'],
// The response status codes to retry. Supports a double
// array with a list of ranges. Defaults to:
// [[100, 199], [429, 429], [500, 599]]
statusCodesToRetry: [[100, 199], [429, 429], [500, 599]],
