Create a helper function to poll for knowledge base indexing completion

[bbatha]

When a Gradient AI Platform Knowledge Base is indexed can run for several minutes. Currently users must write loops to poll for the job state, roughly.

import Gradient from '@digitalocean/gradient';

const client = new Gradient();

while (true) {
   const job = await client.knowledgeBases.indexingJobs.retrieve('123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000');
   if (job.job.phase !== "BATCH_JOB_PHASE_RUNNING") {
       continue;
   }
}

This should of course handle failed states for errors and such

Hi @bbatha , I’d like to work on this!

• I can implement a utility like waitForIndexingJob(client, jobId, options) that polls until the indexing job reaches a terminal state with exponential backoff and timeout.
• It’ll handle error states and return the final job object when complete.
• I can also add small unit tests for success, failure and timeout scenarios.

Would you like this added under client.knowledgeBases.utils or as a standalone helper in the SDK?
