# whenever
Shorthand for watching value to be truthy.
## Usage
```js
import { useAsyncState, whenever } from '@vueuse/core'
const { state, isReady } = useAsyncState(
fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1').then(t => t.json()),
{},
)
whenever(isReady, () => console.log(state))
```
```ts
import { whenever } from '@vueuse/core'
// ---cut---
// this
whenever(ready, () => console.log(state))
// is equivalent to:
watch(ready, (isReady) => {
if (isReady)
console.log(state)
})
```
### Callback Function
Same as `watch`, the callback will be called with `cb(value, oldValue, onInvalidate)`.
```ts
import { whenever } from '@vueuse/core'
// ---cut---
whenever(height, (current, lastHeight) => {
if (current > lastHeight)
console.log(`Increasing height by ${current - lastHeight}`)
})
```
### Computed
Same as `watch`, you can pass a getter function to calculate on each change.
```ts
import { whenever } from '@vueuse/core'
// ---cut---
// this
whenever(
() => counter.value === 7,
() => console.log('counter is 7 now!'),
)
```
### Options
Options and defaults are same with `watch`.
```ts
import { whenever } from '@vueuse/core'
// ---cut---
// this
whenever(
() => counter.value === 7,
() => console.log('counter is 7 now!'),
{ flush: 'sync' },
)
```
## Type Declarations
```ts
export interface WheneverOptions extends WatchOptions {
/**
* Only trigger once when the condition is met
*
* Override the `once` option in `WatchOptions`
*
* @default false
*/
once?: boolean
}
/**
* Shorthand for watching value to be truthy
*
* @see https://vueuse.org/whenever
*/
export declare function whenever<T>(
source: WatchSource<T | false | null | undefined>,
cb: WatchCallback<T>,
options?: WheneverOptions,
): WatchHandle
```
