🔁 Attempt
=========

[](#-attempt)

This PHP package allows you to attempt to run a function, automatically retrying if an exception occurs.

It can useful for:

- Unreliable connectivity or APIs
- Interaction with rate-limited systems
- Handling unreliable input data

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

To install Attempt, just run the following command.

```
composer require jord-jd/attempt
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

See the following usage examples.

```
// Attempts to run the function immediately. If an exception occurs, retry forever.
attempt(function() {
    // ...
})->now();

// Attempts to run the function immediately. If an exception occurs, retry up to 5 times.
attempt(function() {
    // ...
})->maxAttempts(5)
  ->now();

// Attempts to run the function immediately. If an exception occurs, retry until the specified date time.
attempt(function() {
    // ...
})->until($datetime)
  ->now();

// Attempts to run the function immediately. If an exception occurs, retry forever, with a 20 second gap between attempts.
attempt(function() {
    // ...
})->withGap(20)
  ->now();

// Attempts to run the function at a specified date time. If an exception occurs, retry forever. The thread will block until the specified date time is reached.
attempt(function() {
    // ...
})->at($datetime);
```

Most of these methods can be chained and used together as you might expect to give the desired functionality.
