-## Interface
+This will instantly start calling your function until it returns a resolved promise, no retries are left or a timeout occurred.
+
+If you want to add retries to an existing function, use the decorator:
 
 ```typescript
-function retry<T>(f: () => Promise<T>, config?: RetryConfig<T>): Promise<T> {}
+import { retryDecorator } from 'ts-retry-promise';
+
+const asyncFunction = async (s: String) => s;
+
+const decoratedFunction = retryDecorator(asyncFunction, {timeout: 1});
+
+const result: string = await decoratedFunction("1");
 ```
 
-_retry_ will repeatedly call _f_ until a resolved _Promise_ is returned. 
-Optionally a predicate can be specified, against which the result will be checked.
+Here `decoratedFunction` is a function with the same signature as `asyncFunction`, but will do retries in case of failures.
+
+## Configuration
 
-Several aspects of the execution can be configured:
+Both `retry` and `retryDecorator` take an optional second argument where you can configure the number of retries and timeouts:
