Elixir library for waiting for things to happen

WaitForIt

Various ways of waiting for things to happen.

This library allows you to wait on the results of asynchronous or remote operations using intuitive and familiar syntax based on built-in Elixir language constructs.

There are three distinct forms of waiting provided:

1. The wait macro waits until a given expression evaluates to a truthy value.
2. The case_wait macro waits until a given expression evaluates to a value that matches any one of the given case clauses (looks like an Elixir case expression).
3. The cond_wait macro waits until any one of the given expressions evaluates to a truthy value (looks like an Elixir cond expression).

See the API reference for full documentation.
