delayed, up to a finite number of loops.

cp.just.doUntil(actionFn[, timeout[, frequency]]) -> value |
| Type |
Function |
| Description |
Performs an action function, looping until the result of the function evaluates to true (or a non-nil value). |
| Parameters |
actionFn - a fuction which is called on each loop. It should return a 'truthy' value.timeout - (optional) the number of seconds after which we will give up. Defaults to 1 second.frequency - (optional) the amount of time between checks. Defaults to 1 millisecond.
|
| Returns |
- The last return value of the action function.

actionFn - a fuction which is called on each loop. It should return a 'truthy' value.timeout - (optional) the number of seconds after which we will give up. Defaults to 1 second.frequency - (optional) the time between checks. Defaults to 1 millisecond.
|
| Returns |
- The last return value of the action function.
