How can you retry after an exception in Javascript when using promises?

Question

I\'m using the Bluebird promise library. I have a chain of promisified functions like the following:

    receiveMessageAsync(params)
    .then(function(data)         


        

Answer 1

I just released https://github.com/zyklus/promise-repeat, which retries a promise until it either times out or a maximum number of attempts are hit. It allows you to write:

receiveMessageAsync(params)
...
.spread(retry(
    function(response, data) {
        return sendResponseAsync(response);
    }
))
...
