Retry_Bot is a Dio interceptor designed to automatically retry HTTP requests when a timeout occurs. It integrates seamlessly with the Dio HTTP client, enhancing reliability for network operations in Flutter apps. By catching timeout errors and reattempting failed requests, it improves user experience during unstable network conditions. The package supports all major platforms including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux. It's lightweight and easy to implement, requiring minimal configuration. Ideal for apps that depend heavily on stable API communication.
