BackON  

Make retry like a built-in feature provided by Rust.

• Simple API: Native feel: your_fn.retry(ExponentialBuilder::default()).await.
• Sync & Async: Supports both blocking and async operations seamlessly.
• Precise Control: Define when to retry and get notified via when and notify.
• Custom Strategies: Use built-in backoff strategies (exponential, constant) or define custom ones. Also supports dynamic backoff, such as using the HTTP Retry-After header.
• Cross-Platform: Works everywhere Rust does, including wasm & no-std.

Quick Start

Retry an async function.

use anyhow::Result;
use backon::ExponentialBuilder;
use backon::Retryable;

async fn fetch() -> Result<String> {
    Ok("hello, world!".to_string())
}

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> {
    let content = fetch
        // Retry with exponential backoff
        .retry(ExponentialBuilder::default())
        // Sleep implementation, required if no feature has been enabled
        .sleep(tokio::time::sleep)
        // When to retry
        .when(|e| e.to_string() == "EOF")
        // Notify when retrying
        .notify(|err: &anyhow::Error, dur: Duration| {
            println!("retrying {:?} after {:?}", err, dur);
        })
        .await?;
    println!("fetch succeeded: {}", content);

    Ok(())
}

Retry a blocking function.

use anyhow::Result;
use backon::BlockingRetryable;
use backon::ExponentialBuilder;

fn fetch() -> Result<String> {
    Ok("hello, world!".to_string())
}

fn main() -> Result<()> {
    let content = fetch
        // Retry with exponential backoff
        .retry(ExponentialBuilder::default())
        // Sleep implementation, required if no feature has been enabled
        .sleep(std::thread::sleep)
        // When to retry
        .when(|e| e.to_string() == "EOF")
        // Notify when retrying
        .notify(|err: &anyhow::Error, dur: Duration| {
            println!("retrying {:?} after {:?}", err, dur);
        })
        .call()?;
    println!("fetch succeeded: {}", content);

    Ok(())
}
