While a condition returns true, calls a function repeatedly, and then resolves the promise
Think async version of the while statement.
npm install p-whilstimport pWhilst from 'p-whilst';
let count = 0;
await pWhilst(
() => count < 5,
() => count++
);
console.log(count);
//=> 5While condition returns true, executes action repeatedly, and then resolves the promise to the result of the last call to action. Rejects if action returns a promise that rejects or if an error is thrown anywhere.

You can return a promise and it will be handled.

- p-forever - Run promise-returning & async functions repeatedly until you end it
