A redux observable showing how to do retries

How to satisfy your product owner

Image your product owner would list the following Acceptance Criteria:

• When an API request fails, the app will retry
• Between each retry there is a 5 second delay
• If a new request is started while a request or delay is running, the old request must be aborted
• During a 5 second waiting period the user must be informed every second about when the next retry will occur
• When the request finally succeds, all retrying must stop at once

How many story points would you estimate this story?

I'd say about a 3 ... at the maximum.

In fact this becomes quite easy with redux-observable and RxJS 5. Check out this example.
