About this method

Wait for a task to complete to ensure synchronized index updates.

All Algolia write operations are asynchronous. When you make a request for a write operation, for example, to add or update records in your index, Algolia creates a task on a queue and returns a taskID. The task itself runs separately, depending on the server load. You can wait for a write operation to complete by using the tasks’s taskID' and the waitTask` method.

Examples

$index->addObject(

)->wait();

If you want to ensure multiple objects have been indexed, you must check all taskIDs.
