## A simple retry decorator for typescript with 0 dependency.
This is inspired by the [Spring-Retry project](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-retry). Written in Typescript, *100%* Test Coverage.

Import and use it. Retry for `Promise` is supported as long as the `runtime` has promise(nodejs/evergreen-browser).

### Install
> npm install typescript-retry-decorator

### Example
```typescript

let count: number = 1;

  @Retryable({ maxAttempts: 3 })
  static async noDelayRetry() {
    console.info(`Calling noDelayRetry for the ${count++} time at ${new Date().toLocaleTimeString()}`);
    throw new Error('I failed!');
  }

  @Retryable({ 
    maxAttempts: 3, 
    value: [SyntaxError, ReferenceError]
  })
  static async noDelaySpecificRetry(): Promise<void> {
    console.info(`Calling noDelaySpecificRetry for the ${count++} time at ${new Date().toLocaleTimeString()}`);
    throw new SyntaxError('I failed with SyntaxError!');
  }

  @Retryable({ 
    maxAttempts: 3,
    backOff: 1000,
    doRetry: (e: Error) => {
      return e.message === 'Error: 429';
    }
   })
  static async doRetry() {
    console.info(`Calling doRetry for the ${count++} time at ${new Date().toLocaleTimeString()}`);
    throw new Error('Error: 429');

    }
   })
  static async doNotRetry() {
    console.info(`Calling doNotRetry for the ${count++} time at ${new Date().toLocaleTimeString()}`);
    throw new Error('Error: 404');
  }

  @Retryable({
    maxAttempts: 3,
    backOffPolicy: BackOffPolicy.FixedBackOffPolicy,
    backOff: 1000
  })
  static async fixedBackOffRetry() {
    console.info(`Calling fixedBackOffRetry 1s for the ${count++} time at ${new Date().toLocaleTimeString()}`);
    throw new Error('I failed!');
  }

  @Retryable({
    maxAttempts: 3,
    backOffPolicy: BackOffPolicy.ExponentialBackOffPolicy,
    backOff: 1000,
    exponentialOption: { maxInterval: 4000, multiplier: 3 }
  })
  static async ExponentialBackOffRetry() {
    console.info(`Calling ExponentialBackOffRetry backOff 1s, multiplier=3 for the ${count++} time at ${new Date().toLocaleTimeString()}`);
    throw new Error('I failed!');
  }
}

(async () => {
  try {
    resetCount();
    await RetryExample.noDelayRetry();
  } catch (e) {
    console.info(`All retry done as expected, final message: '${e.message}'`);
  }

  try {
    resetCount();
    await RetryExample.doRetry();
  } catch (e) {
    console.info(`All retry done as expected, final message: '${e.message}'`);
  }

  try {
    resetCount();
    await RetryExample.doNotRetry();
  } catch (e) {
    console.info(`All retry done as expected, final message: '${e.message}'`);
  }

  try {
    resetCount();
    await RetryExample.fixedBackOffRetry();
  } catch (e) {
    console.info(`All retry done as expected, final message: '${e.message}'`);
  }

  try {
    resetCount();
    await RetryExample.ExponentialBackOffRetry();
  } catch (e) {
    console.info(`All retry done as expected, final message: '${e.message}'`);
  }
  
})();

function resetCount() {
  count = 1;
}
```

Run the above code with `ts-node`, then output will be:
