How to perform the action many more times after an error?

Question

JavaScript

async text => {
  let err = false
  do {
    try {
      let result = await request(text)
      err = false
    } catch (e) {
      err = e
    }

  } while (err);

}

I send requests and get a result or an error.
When I get an error - I want to send requests so many more times until I get a result.
Wrote such function when I receive an error - execution stops.
What have I done wrong?

Answer 1

const c = async a => { try{ await request() } catch(e) {c()} }

It's possible, but I don't recommend it. There may be an overflow
