ReCallMe

A micro js library to allows you to manage errors by restarting the original function.

Mainly used to restart ajax call, long polling stuff, ...

You can can provide the maximum number of fail in a given time range.

Usage

ReCallMe has no dependencies and can be used completely standalone.

Browser

Include recallme.min.js in your web app, by loading it as usual:

<script src="recallme.min.js"></script>

Ender

ender build recallme

NodeJS

npm install recallme

Define restart strategy

callMe(function(errback) {
    $.ajax({
       url: 'http://example.org/',
       error: errback
    })
}).max(3) //times
  .seconds(4) // minutes, hours
  .delay(function(nbErrors) {
    return nbErrors * 2;
  })
  .onError(function() {
    alert('too many attempt')
}).run();

In this example, the function in parameter of callMe will be called max 3 times in 4 seconds if the errback parameter is called. Otherwise the function in parameter of onError will be called.

API

callMe(function): the initial contructor. You have to pass the function to monitor.

max(number): define the number of time we have to recalled the runnable function. Can depends on the number of fail by seconds.

seconds(number): define the number of seconds where max error will trigger to stop the moitoring.

minutes(number): define the number of minutes.

hours(number): define the number of hours.

delay(function): should return the number of second before next restart. The function take the current number of fail. Default delay is 0.

onError(function): if more than max number of restarts occur in the last number of seconds/minutes/hours, then the function in parameter will be called.

run(): start the monitoring.

Ender Support

$.callMe(function() {}).run();
 
var re = require('recallme');
re.callMe(function() {}).run()

NodeJS

var re = require('recallme');
re.callMe(function() {}).run()

Why?

Because I want a standalone library to allowing to repeat an action if an error occurs.
