Constants

const MaxJitter = 1.0

MaxJitter will randomize over the full exponential backoff time

const NoJitter = 0.0

NoJitter disables the use of jitter for randomizing the exponential backoff time

Functions

func NewTimer

func NewTimer(ctx context.Context) <-chan int

NewTimer creates a timer with exponentially increasing delays until the maximum retry attempts are reached. - this function is a simpler version with all default values.

func NewTimerWithJitter

func NewTimerWithJitter(ctx context.Context, unit time.Duration, cap time.Duration, jitter float64) <-chan int

NewTimerWithJitter creates a timer with exponentially increasing delays until the maximum retry attempts are reached. - this function is a fully configurable version, meant for only advanced use cases. For the most part one should use newRetryTimerSimple and newRetryTimer.
