# RetryIter
RetryIter is a small helper crate which adds retry support to **std::iter::Iterator.**
It does it by implementing the crate's **IntoRetryIter**
for all **std::iter::Iterator** types. In addition to retries support, the main
feature of this crate is to preserve the iterator items during
**std::future::Future** cancellation in asynchronous processing.
It is explained with example in
[Crate's Main Feature](https://docs.rs/retryiter/0.4.2/retryiter/#crates-main-feature)
section.
## Documentation
Documentation of this crate available at [doc.rs](https://docs.rs/retryiter/0.4.2/retryiter/index.html)
## Usage
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
retryiter = "0.4"
```
## Example
```rust
use retryiter::{IntoRetryIter};
#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq)]
struct ValueError;
let a = vec![1, 2, 3];
// Initializing retryiter with retry count 1.
// Also defined the error that can occur in while processing the item.
let mut iter = a.into_iter().retries::<ValueError>(1);
for item in &mut iter {
if item == 3 {
// Always failing for value 3.
item.failed(ValueError);
} else if item < 3 && item.attempt() == 1 {
// Only fail on first attempt. The item with value 1 or 2 will
// succeed on second attempt.
item.failed(ValueError);
} else {
// Marking success for all the other case.
item.succeeded();
}
}
assert_eq!(vec![(3, ValueError)], iter.failed_items())
```
