Polling in JS with an async ajax call that returns a promise ( modified from: https://davidwalsh.name/javascript-polling )
// The polling function
function poll(fn, timeout, interval) {
var endTime = Number(new Date()) + (timeout || 2000);
interval = interval || 100;
var checkCondition = function(resolve, reject) {
var ajax = fn();
// dive into the ajax promise
ajax.then( function(response){
// If the condition is met, we're done!
