# whileLoop

## Description

Loop runs, and it continues to repeat as long as the condition remains true, it evaluates the condition first before looping.

## Input / Parameter

| Name      | Description                                  | Input Type | Default | Options | Required |
| --------- | -------------------------------------------- | ---------- | ------- | ------- | -------- |
| condition | The condition to evaluates first before loop | boolean    | -       | -       | Yes      |

## Output

N/A

## Callback

### yesCallback

This will be triggered for every loop that happens while the condition remains true.

## Example

In this example, we will do console logging by using `console` function in `whileLoop` callback

### Code Equivalent

```
let n = 0;
while (n < 5) {
  n++;
  console.log("while loop"+n);
}
```

### Steps

1. Drag a `button` component into the canvas and open the `Action` tab. Select the `press` event of the button and drag the `setVar` function to the event flow, add the value `n` on `var` param and add the value `0` on `value` param.

2. Drag the function `whileLoop` to the eventflow, on it's `condition` param change the param type to function/subflow then add function `less` inside the subflow, for the `value1` param change the param type to function/subflow then add function `getVar` inside the subflow, for the `var` param add value `n`.

3. Drag the function `setVar` inside function `whileLoop` yes callback, add value `n` on param `var` and change the param type to subflow/function on param `value`. Inside param `value` subflow add `add` function then on it's `value1` change the param type to subflow/function, add `getVar` function in it, then put `n` on it's `var` param value.

4. Drag the function `console` inside function `whileLoop` yes callback, change the param type to subflow/function on param `value`. Inside param `value` subflow add `plus` function then on it's `value1` param add `while loop` value, as for `value2` param change the param type to subflow/function, add `getVar` function in it, then put `n` on it's `var` param value.

### Result

1. Now click the button in preview, it will show the list of `while loop` with the current loop number on the console.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.emobiq.com/emobiq-client/006-actions-and-visual-logic/action-reference/cordova/flow/whileloop.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
