Retryer

Utility for easily retrying functions

local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
local retryer = require("retryer")

retryer.inf(StarterGui.SetCore, StarterGui, "ResetButtonCallback", false)

Methods

__call

Retries a function x times, based on how many retrys its allowed to make

local success, added = retryer(20, function(n: number)
    return n + 3
end, 1)

if success then
    added -= 3
else
    print("add failure!")
end

delay

Retries a function x times, based on how many retrys its allowed to make. With a delay in between thats provided as the first argument

local success, added = retryer.delay(20, 10, function(n: number)
    return n + 3
end, 1)

if success then
    added -= 3
else
    print("delayed add failure!")
end

exp

Retries a funtion using exponential backoff x times, based on how many retrys its allowed to make. Same as delay, except that its second arg is the exponent with the third being max_attempts

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local STORE = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("COINS", "V1")

retryer.exp(5, 2, 6, STORE.UpdateAsync, STORE, "alice", function(_, keyinfo)
    return -math.huge, keyinfo:GetUserIds(), keyinfo:GetMetadata()
end)

DANGER

The infinite methods can infinitely yield so its recommended to not use them unless you have to such as with StarterGui:SetCore()

inf

Works like __call, except that it infinitely retries until it succeeds

local added = retryer.inf(function(n: number)
    return n + 3
end, 1)

added -= 3

infdelay

Works like delay, except that it infinitely retries until it succeeds

local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")

retryer.infdelay(10, StarterGui.SetCore, "ResetButtonCallback", false)

infexp

Works like exp, except that it infinitely retries until it succeeds

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local STORE = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("COINS", "V1")

retryer.exp(5, 2, STORE.UpdateAsync, STORE, "alice", function(_, keyinfo)
    return -math.huge, keyinfo:GetUserIds(), keyinfo:GetMetadata()
end)
