# Workflow\.dowhile()

The `.dowhile()` method executes a step while a condition is met. It always runs the step at least once before evaluating the condition. The first time the condition is evaluated, `iterationCount` is `1`.

## Usage example

```typescript
workflow.dowhile(step1, async ({ inputData }) => true)
```

## Parameters

**step** (`Step`): The step instance to execute in the loop

**condition** (`(params : ExecuteParams & { iterationCount: number }) => Promise<boolean>`): A function that returns a boolean indicating whether to continue the loop. The function receives the execution parameters and the iteration count.

## Returns

**workflow** (`Workflow`): The workflow instance for method chaining
