SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps manage and customize how Riverpod automatically retries failed providers, preventing unexpected behavior and improving application resilience.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Custom Retry Logic: Define specific retry delays and conditions based on error types and retry counts.
  • Global/Per-Provider Configuration: Apply retry settings either to all providers within a ProviderScope or to individual providers.
  • Disabling Retry: Easily turn off automatic retries when they are not needed or desired.
  • Use Case: When a network request within a Riverpod provider might fail temporarily, use this skill to configure exponential backoff for retries, ensuring the operation eventually succeeds without overwhelming the system.

Quick Start

Configure the global retry behavior for all providers in the application to retry up to 5 times with a 200ms delay.

Can I disable automatic retries for specific exceptions in Riverpod?

Yes, you can disable automatic retries in Riverpod for specific exceptions, such as ProviderException, or turn off retry logic entirely when retry attempts are not needed or desired.

How do I set up exponential backoff for a failing Dart provider?

To set up exponential backoff for a failing Dart provider, use custom retry logic to define specific retry delays and conditions based on error types and retry counts, preventing the system from being overwhelmed.

What is the difference between global and per-provider retry settings in Riverpod?

Global retry settings apply configuration to all providers within a ProviderScope, while per-provider settings allow you to define specific retry conditions and delays for individual Riverpod providers.

When should I customize Riverpod's automatic retry mechanism?

You should customize Riverpod's automatic retry mechanism when providers can fail transiently, such as during temporary network requests, and require configurable retry strategies to improve application resilience.
