----------------

### waitFor

* **waitFor**(`params`): `Promise<boolean>`

Returns a promise that is resolved only after the current call is in one of the specified states.

#### Parameters

<ParamField path="params" type="&#x22;ended&#x22; | &#x22;ending&#x22; | (&#x22;ended&#x22; | &#x22;ending&#x22;)[]" required>
  The call state(s) to wait for.
</ParamField>

#### Returns

`Promise<boolean>`

A promise that resolves to `true` if the call is in one of the specified states, or `false` if the call is ended.

#### Example

In this example, we dial a phone number and play a TTS message.
After the TTS message is finished, we hangup the call and wait for the call to end
before printing a message to console.

```js
import { SignalWire } from "@signalwire/realtime-api";

const client = await SignalWire({ project: "ProjectID Here", token: "Token Here" })

const voiceClient = client.voice;

// Listen for incoming calls
await voiceClient.listen({

  topics: ["office"],
  onCallReceived: async (call) => {
    console.log("Call received");
    // Answer the call
    await call.answer();

    // play TTS
    await call.playTTS({ text: "Hello World" });

    call.hangup();

    call.waitFor("ended").then(() => {
      console.log("Call ended");
    });
  }
});
```
