Function backoffGenerator

Generates an expoential backoff series of values

// Default: start at 1, power 1.1
for (const v of backoffGenerator()) {
 // v: numeric value
}
Copy

By default the generator runs forever. Use either limitAttempts or limitValue to stop it when it produces a given quantity of values, or when the value itself reaches a threshold.

For example:

// `values` will have five values in it
const values = [...backoffGenerator({ limitAttempts: 5 })];
// Keep generating values until max is reached
const values = [...backoffGenerator({ limitValue: 1000 })];
Copy

Options:

• startAt: start value
• limitAttempts: cap the number of values to generate
• limitValue: cap the maximum calculated value
• power: power value (default 1.1)
