To install Gogoretry, use the following go get command:

go get github.com/kdsama/gogoretry

Gogoretry is a Go package that provides a flexible and customizable retry mechanism for handling errors in your applications. It allows you to set various retry-related options and strategies, making it easier to manage retries in your code.

import "github.com/kdsama/gogoretry"

kdsamaTo create a Retrier with default settings (1-second sleep time and 5 max retries), use:

retrier := gogoretry.New()

You can customize the Retrier using the following options:

• Sleep Time: Set the sleep time between each retry. retrier := gogoretry.Sleep(time.Second)

• Maximum Number of Retries: Set the maximum number of retries. retrier := gogoretry.MaxRetries(5)

• Custom Time Intervals: Provide a custom time interval slice for retries.

customIntervals := []time.Duration{time.Second, 2 * time.Second, 5 * time.Second} 
retrier := gogoretry.Custom(customIntervals) 

• Exponential Backoffs: Set up exponential backoffs with a time duration, multiplier, and max retries.

retrier := gogoretry.Exponential(time.Second, 2, 5)

• Handling Bad Errors: Specify a list of errors that, if encountered, will not trigger retries.

badErrors := []error{specificError1, specificError2} 
retrier := gogoretry.BadErrors(badErrors)

• Handling Retry Errors: Specify a list of errors that, if not encountered, will trigger retries.

retrier := gogoretry.RetryErrors(retryErrors)

err := retrier.Run(func() error {
    // Your code that may return an error goes here
    result, err := yourFunction()
    return err
}) 

If err is not nil, it means the system attempted retries as per your settings and did not receive a successful response.
