An exponentially backing off retry package for Go.
go get github.com/WinPooh32/retry@latest
retry promotes control flow using for/goto instead of callbacks.
Wait for connectivity to google.com, checking at most once every second:
func pingGoogle(ctx context.Context) error {
var err error
r := retry.New(time.Second, time.Second*10);
// Jitter is useful when the majority of clients to a service use
// the same backoff policy.
//
// It is provided as a standard deviation.
r.Jitter = 0.1
retry:
_, err = http.Get("https://google.com")
if err != nil {
if r.Wait(ctx) {
goto retry
}
return err
}
return nil
}Wait for connectivity to google.com, checking at most 10 times:

_, err = http.Get("https://google.com")
if err != nil {
