Please note the version part at the end. + +For most cases, use `Retry` function. See [example_test.go][example] for an example. + +If you have specific needs, copy `Retry` function (from [retry.go][retry-src]) into your code and modify it as needed. + +## Contributing + +* I would like to keep this library as small as possible. +* Please don't send a PR without opening an issue and discussing it first. +* If proposed change is not a common use case, I will probably not accept it. + +[godoc]: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/cenkalti/backoff/v5 +[godoc image]: https://godoc.org/github.com/cenkalti/backoff?status.png + +[google-http-java-client]: https://github.com/google/google-http-java-client/blob/da1aa993e90285ec18579f1553339b00e19b3ab5/google-http-client/src/main/java/com/google/api/client/util/ExponentialBackOff.java +[exponential backoff wiki]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_backoff + +[retry-src]: https://github.com/cenkalti/backoff/blob/v5/retry.go +[example]: https://github.com/cenkalti/backoff/blob/v5/example_test.go |
