retry with a formulated delay

[sayjeyhi]

It could be a good option to pass formulated delay parameter to retry effect.
I mean making delay between call based on counter.
For this purpose , delay parameter could accept function , and pass counter as parameter , then user could return custom delays to every iterate.

retry(maxTries, delay, fn, ...args)

simple use case , we want to retry on 1s , then 5s , 9s , 13s , .... , 1min , 1min and so on .

const delayFn = count =>  (count > 10 ? 60 : (4 * count + 1)) * 1000;

yield retry(3, delayFn, request, data);

maybe this could handle conditions #1760 , and user could add conditions in this passed function and if return value is false , break the retry iteration

@Andarist I think this could be done easily , if it sounds good to you , maybe I could made a PR

Hey @sayjeyhi
In case you still have to retry your saga, we recently released a package redux-saga-retry that may fit your needs 😃
