How can I use fetch in while loop

Question

My code is something like this:

var trueOrFalse = true;
while(trueOrFalse){
    fetch(\'some/address\').then(){
        if(someCondition){
            trueOrFals         


        

Answer 1

The while loop fires off all the fetches before any one of them will reach the then(), so a while loop is incorrect here, even useless I would say.

You need to make the then() responsible for whether to continue fetching or not.

It also seems that your then()-syntax is wrong (maybe just an error editing the example). Furthermore you can omit the boolean helper variable (unless perhaps you need it in some other place).

function fetchUntilCondition(){
    fetch('some/address').then(function(response){
        if(!someCondition) {
           fetchUntilCondition(); // fetch again
        }
    });
}
fetchUntilCondition();
