NestJS Axios Retry Module

nestjs-axios-retry is a module for NestJS that adds retry functionality to Axios HTTP requests. It leverages axios-retry to provide configurable options for retrying failed HTTP requests, making your NestJS applications more resilient to transient errors.

Features

• Easy integration with NestJS's HttpModule.
• Configurable retry count, delay, and conditions.
• Support for exponential backoff.
• Custom callbacks for retry events.

Installation

npm install nestjs-axios-retry axios-retry

Usage First, import and configure AxiosRetryModule in your NestJS module:

import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { AxiosRetryModule } from 'nestjs-axios-retry';
import axiosRetry from 'axios-retry';

@Module({
  imports: [
    AxiosRetryModule.forRoot({
      axiosRetryConfig: {
        retries: 5,
        retryDelay: axiosRetry.exponentialDelay,
        shouldResetTimeout: true,
        retryCondition: (error) => error.response.status === 429,
        onRetry: (retryCount, error, requestConfig) => {
          console.log(`Retrying request attempt ${retryCount}`);
        },
      },
    }),
  ],
  // ... Other configurations
})
export class AppModule {}

Then, inject the HttpService provided by NestJS into your service or controller:

Basic Usage

Use the HttpService provided by NestJS to make HTTP requests. The retry functionality is automatically applied based on your module configuration.

import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { HttpService } from '@nestjs/axios';
import { firstValueFrom } from 'rxjs';

@Injectable()
export class AppService {
  constructor(private httpService: HttpService) {}

  async fetchData() {
    const response = await firstValueFrom(
      this.httpService.get('https://example.com/data'),
    );
    return response.data;
  }
}

Advanced Usage

Custom Retry Configuration You can customize the retry behavior for individual requests:

async fetchDataWithCustomRetry() {
  const response = await firstValueFrom(
    this.httpService.get('https://example.com/data', {
      'axios-retry': {
        retries: 5,
        retryDelay: (retryCount) => retryCount * 1000,
      },
    }),
  );
  return response.data;
}

Exponential Backoff Retry For exponential backoff strategy:

async fetchDataWithExponentialBackoff() {
  const response = await firstValueFrom(
    this.httpService.get('https://example.com/data', {
      'axios-retry': {
        retries: 3,
        retryDelay: axiosRetry.exponentialDelay,
      },
    }),
  );
  return response.data;
}

Specific Retry Condition Customize the condition under which a

retry should occur:

async fetchDataWithRetryCondition() {
  const response = await firstValueFrom(
    this.httpService.get('https://example.com/data', {
      'axios-retry': {
        retries: 3,
        retryCondition: (error) => error.response.status === 503,
      },
    }),
  );
  return response.data;
}

OnRetry Callback Implement custom actions on each retry:

async fetchDataWithOnRetryCallback() {
  const response = await firstValueFrom(
    this.httpService.get('https://example.com/data', {
      'axios-retry': {
        retries: 3,
        onRetry: (retryCount, error, requestConfig) => {
          console.log(`Retrying request attempt ${retryCount}`);
        },
      },
    }),
  );
  return response.data;
}

// Basic fetch data example
  async fetchData() {
    const response = await firstValueFrom(
      this.httpService.get('https://example.com/data'),
    );
    return response.data;
  }

  // Fetch with custom retry configuration
  async fetchDataWithCustomRetry() {
    const response = await firstValueFrom(
      this.httpService.get('https://example.com/data', {
        'axios-retry': {
          retries: 5,
          retryDelay: (retryCount) => retryCount * 1000,
        },
      }),
    );
    return response.data;
  }

  // Fetch with exponential backoff retry
  async fetchDataWithExponentialBackoff() {
    const response = await firstValueFrom(
      this.httpService.get('https://example.com/data', {
        'axios-retry': {
          retries: 3,
          retryDelay: axiosRetry.exponentialDelay,
        },
      }),
    );
    return response.data;
  }

  // Fetch with specific retry condition
  async fetchDataWithRetryCondition() {
    const response = await firstValueFrom(
      this.httpService.get('https://example.com/data', {
        'axios-retry': {
          retries: 3,
          retryCondition: (error) => error?.response?.status === 503,
        },
      }),
    );
    return response.data;
  }

  // Fetch with onRetry callback
  async fetchDataWithOnRetryCallback() {
    const response = await firstValueFrom(
      this.httpService.get('https://example.com/data', {
        'axios-retry': {
          retries: 3,
          onRetry: (retryCount, error, requestConfig) => {
            console.log(`Retrying request attempt ${retryCount}`);
          },
        },
      }),
    );
    return response.data;
  }
