While loops using Await Async.

Question

This Javascript function seems to use the while loop in an asynchronous way. Is it the correct way to use while loops with asynchronous conditions?

Yep, it's fine to do it like this:

    let stopped = false

    // infinite loop
    while(!stopped) {
       let res = await fetch('api link') 
       if (res.something) stopped = true // stop when you want
    }
