Example

// Define your async function normally
async function fetchData(url: string) {
  const response = await fetch(url)
  if (!response.ok) throw new Error('Request failed')
  return response.json()
}

// Create retry-enabled function
const fetchWithRetry = asyncRetry(fetchData, {
  maxAttempts: 3,
  backoff: 'exponential',
  baseWait: 1000,
  jitter: 0.1
})

// Call it multiple times
const data1 = await fetchWithRetry('/api/data1')
const data2 = await fetchWithRetry('/api/data2')
