How can I configure axios-retry for advanced use cases?

You can customize axios-retry by setting options like retries, retryDelay, and shouldResetTimeout. What specific use case do you have in mind?

I want to implement exponential backoff for retries. How can I do that?

You can achieve exponential backoff by using a custom retryDelay function. For example, you can set it to return a delay based on the retry count.

Can you show me a code snippet for that?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

axiosRetry(axiosInstance, {
  retries: 3,
  retryDelay: (retryCount) => {
    return Math.pow(2, retryCount) * 1000; // Exponential backoff
  }
});

That makes sense! What if I want to skip certain status codes?

You can use the shouldRetry option to specify which status codes to retry. For example:

axiosRetry(axiosInstance, {
  retries: 3,
  shouldRetry: (error) => {
    return error.response.status === 500; // Retry only on 500 errors
  }
});
