Retrying a Data-Fetching Operation

[webJose]

This demonstrates how unneeded is to add things like this to a fetch() wrapper, so long you have the right wrapper to start with. 😄

This code snippet uses the well-estrablished p-retry NPM package. As seen, there is zero friction between this package and dr-fetch:

import { DrFetch } from "dr-fetch";
import pRetry from "p-retry";

const fetcher = new DrFetch();

const response = await pRetry(() => {
    return fetcher
        .for<200, { id: number; name: string; }[]>()
        .get("https://api.example.com/users");
}, {
    retries: 3,
    factor: 2
});

As expected, TypeScript remains unaltered and you have full Intellisense on your response object:
