fargo 1a822493ba format: apply repo prettier (3.8.1) to the folded skills tree
963 markdown files reformatted with the repository's pinned prettier so
pnpm format:check covers the folded tree like every other repo file.

The formatter's embedded-language pass also normalized code fences
(TS semicolons, closed HTML tags in examples, lowercased CSS hex colors,
one renumbered list that skipped an index). Alphanumeric token deltas vs
the fold commit were audited file-by-file; all are formatter-equivalent
markup normalizations plus the four sanitized skills.

Watch

until

Promised one-time watch for changes

Usage

Wait for some async data to be ready

import { until, useAsyncState } from '@vueuse/core';

const { state, isReady } = useAsyncState(
  fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1').then((t) => t.json()),
  {},
);

(async () => {
  await until(isReady).toBe(true);

  console.log(state); // state is now ready!
})();

Wait for custom conditions

You can use invoke to call the async function.

import { invoke, until, useCounter } from '@vueuse/core';

const { count } = useCounter();

invoke(async () => {
  await until(count).toMatch((v) => v > 7);

  alert('Counter is now larger than 7!');
});

Timeout

import { until } from '@vueuse/core';
// ---cut---
// will be resolve until ref.value === true or 1000ms passed
await until(ref).toBe(true, { timeout: 1000 });

// will throw if timeout
try {
  await until(ref).toBe(true, { timeout: 1000, throwOnTimeout: true });
  // ref.value === true
} catch (e) {
  // timeout
}

More Examples

import { until } from '@vueuse/core';
// ---cut---
await until(ref).toBe(true);
await until(ref).toMatch((v) => v > 10 && v < 100);
await until(ref).changed();
await until(ref).changedTimes(10);
await until(ref).toBeTruthy();
await until(ref).toBeNull();

await until(ref).not.toBeNull();
await until(ref).not.toBeTruthy();
