Answer 1

Also you may try recursion solution.

function asyncCall(cb) {
// Some async operation
}

function responseHandler(result) {
    if (result.error()) {
        console.error(result.error());
    } else if(result.data() && result.data().length) {
        asyncCall(responseHandler);
    }
}

asyncCall(responseHandler);

sigmasoldier's solution is correct, just wanted to share the ES6 version with async / await:

const asyncFunction = (t) => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, t));

const getData = async (resolve, reject, count) => {

    console.log('waiting');
    await asyncFunction(3000);
    console.log('finshed waiting');

    count++;

    if (count < 2) {
        getData(resolve, reject, count);
    } else {
        return resolve();
    }
}

const runScript = async () => {
    await new Promise((r, j) => getData(r, j, 0));
    console.log('finished');
};

runScript();
