-
-Structs contains various utilities to work with Go (Golang) structs. It was
-initially used by me to convert a struct into a `map[string]interface{}`. With
-time I've added other utilities for structs.  It's basically a high level
-package based on primitives from the reflect package. Feel free to add new
-functions or improve the existing code.
-
-## Install
-
-```bash
-go get github.com/fatih/structs
-```
-
-## Usage and Examples
-
-Just like the standard lib `strings`, `bytes` and co packages, `structs` has
-many global functions to manipulate or organize your struct data. Lets define
-and declare a struct:
-
-```go
-type Server struct {
-	Name        string `json:"name,omitempty"`
-	ID          int
-	Enabled     bool
-	users       []string // not exported
-	http.Server          // embedded
-}
-
-server := &Server{
-	Name:    "gopher",
-	ID:      123456,
-	Enabled: true,
-}
-```
-
-```go
-// Convert a struct to a map[string]interface{}
-// => {"Name":"gopher", "ID":123456, "Enabled":true}
-m := structs.Map(server)
-
-// Convert the values of a struct to a []interface{}
-// => ["gopher", 123456, true]
-v := structs.Values(server)
-
-// Convert the names of a struct to a []string
-// (see "Names methods" for more info about fields)
-n := structs.Names(server)
-
-// Convert the values of a struct to a []*Field
-// (see "Field methods" for more info about fields)
-f := structs.Fields(server)
-
-// Return the struct name => "Server"
-n := structs.Name(server)
-
-// Check if any field of a struct is initialized or not.
-h := structs.HasZero(server)
-
-// Check if all fields of a struct is initialized or not.
-z := structs.IsZero(server)
-
-// Check if server is a struct or a pointer to struct
-i := structs.IsStruct(server)
-```
-
-### Struct methods
-
-The structs functions can be also used as independent methods by creating a new
-`*structs.Struct`. This is handy if you want to have more control over the
-structs (such as retrieving a single Field).
-
-```go
-// Create a new struct type:
-s := structs.New(server)
-
-m := s.Map()              // Get a map[string]interface{}
-v := s.Values()           // Get a []interface{}
-f := s.Fields()           // Get a []*Field
-n := s.Names()            // Get a []string
-f := s.Field(name)        // Get a *Field based on the given field name
-f, ok := s.FieldOk(name)  // Get a *Field based on the given field name
-n := s.Name()             // Get the struct name
-h := s.HasZero()          // Check if any field is uninitialized
-z := s.IsZero()           // Check if all fields are uninitialized
-```
-
-### Field methods
-
-We can easily examine a single Field for more detail. Below you can see how we
-get and interact with various field methods:
-
-
-```go
-s := structs.New(server)
-
-// Get the Field struct for the "Name" field
-name := s.Field("Name")
-
-// Get the underlying value,  value => "gopher"
-value := name.Value().(string)
-
-// Set the field's value
-name.Set("another gopher")
-
-// Get the field's kind, kind =>  "string"
-name.Kind()
-
-// Check if the field is exported or not
-if name.IsExported() {
-	fmt.Println("Name field is exported")
-}
-
-// Check if the value is a zero value, such as "" for string, 0 for int
-if !name.IsZero() {
-	fmt.Println("Name is initialized")
-}
-
-// Check if the field is an anonymous (embedded) field
-if !name.IsEmbedded() {
-	fmt.Println("Name is not an embedded field")
-}
-
-// Get the Field's tag value for tag name "json", tag value => "name,omitempty"
-tagValue := name.Tag("json")
-```
-
-Nested structs are supported too:
-
-```go
-addrField := s.Field("Server").Field("Addr")
-
-// Get the value for addr
-a := addrField.Value().(string)
-
-// Or get all fields
-httpServer := s.Field("Server").Fields()
-```
-
-We can also get a slice of Fields from the Struct type to iterate over all
-fields. This is handy if you wish to examine all fields:
-
-```go
-s := structs.New(server)
-
-for _, f := range s.Fields() {
-	fmt.Printf("field name: %+v\n", f.Name())
-
-	if f.IsExported() {
-		fmt.Printf("value   : %+v\n", f.Value())
-		fmt.Printf("is zero : %+v\n", f.IsZero())
-	}
-}
-```

+# Backoff
+
+A simple exponential backoff counter in Go (Golang)
+
+[![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/jpillora/backoff?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/github.com/jpillora/backoff) [![Circle CI](https://circleci.com/gh/jpillora/backoff.svg?style=shield)](https://circleci.com/gh/jpillora/backoff)
+
+### Install
+
+```
+$ go get -v github.com/jpillora/backoff
+```
+
+### Usage
+
+Backoff is a `time.Duration` counter. It starts at `Min`. After every call to `Duration()` it is  multiplied by `Factor`. It is capped at `Max`. It returns to `Min` on every call to `Reset()`. `Jitter` adds randomness ([see below](#example-using-jitter)). Used in conjunction with the `time` package.
+
+---
+
+#### Simple example
+
+``` go
+
+b := &backoff.Backoff{
+	//These are the defaults
+	Min:    100 * time.Millisecond,
+	Max:    10 * time.Second,
+	Factor: 2,
+	Jitter: false,
+}
+
+fmt.Printf("%s\n", b.Duration())
+fmt.Printf("%s\n", b.Duration())
+fmt.Printf("%s\n", b.Duration())
+
+fmt.Printf("Reset!\n")
+b.Reset()
+
+fmt.Printf("%s\n", b.Duration())
+```
+
+```
+100ms
+200ms
+400ms
+Reset!
+100ms
+```
+
+---
+
+#### Example using `net` package
+
+``` go
+b := &backoff.Backoff{
+    Max:    5 * time.Minute,
+}
+
+for {
+	conn, err := net.Dial("tcp", "example.com:5309")
+	if err != nil {
+		d := b.Duration()
+		fmt.Printf("%s, reconnecting in %s", err, d)
+		time.Sleep(d)
+		continue
+	}
+	//connected
+	b.Reset()

+#### Example using `Jitter`
+
+Enabling `Jitter` adds some randomization to the backoff durations. [See Amazon's writeup of performance gains using jitter](http://www.awsarchitectureblog.com/2015/03/backoff.html). Seeding is not necessary but doing so gives repeatable results.
+
+```go
+import "math/rand"
+
+b := &backoff.Backoff{
+	Jitter: true,
+}
+
+rand.Seed(42)
+
+fmt.Printf("%s\n", b.Duration())
+fmt.Printf("%s\n", b.Duration())
+fmt.Printf("%s\n", b.Duration())
+
+fmt.Printf("Reset!\n")
+b.Reset()
+
+fmt.Printf("%s\n", b.Duration())
+fmt.Printf("%s\n", b.Duration())
+fmt.Printf("%s\n", b.Duration())
+```
+
+```
+100ms
+106.600049ms
+281.228155ms
+Reset!
+100ms
+104.381845ms
