Terminate a while loop with switch and state

I'm trying to implement an app and a crucial part of it composed of something like below,

get_state, set_state = mo.state(False)

def wait_for_switch() -> bool:
    while True:
        if get_state():
            return True

switch = mo.ui.switch(on_change=set_state)

get_state, set_state = mo.state(False)

def wait_for_switch() -> bool:
    while True:
        if get_state():
            return True

switch = mo.ui.switch(on_change=set_state)

then calling

wait_for_switch()

wait_for_switch()

But when switching, the loop continues Is there a way to terminate this while loop with switch?

could you try mo.ui.run_button? or mo.stop() ? those may be able to help you achieve the same thing, but use some lower-level internal APIs so to no create an infinite loop

I think run_button can help
