Promise - try until it succeds [duplicate]

Answer 1

Try including function in declaration of foo , using recursion

function foo() {

  var n = String(new Date().getTime()).slice(-1);
  // if `n` < 5 reject `n` , else resolve `n`
  return Promise[n < 5 ? "reject" : "resolve"](n)
    .then(function(value) {
      return value
        // here I choose if I want to resolve or reject.
    })
    .catch(function(err) {
      return Promise.reject(["rejected", err])
    });
}

(function repeat() {
  var promise = Promise.resolve(foo());

  return promise
    .then(function(data) {
      console.log("complete", data)
        // I know here what I have to return.
    })
    .catch(function(err) {
        // I want to repeat the foo function until it is resolved and not rejected. 
      console.log(err);
      if (err[0] === "rejected") repeat()
    })
}())
