Implementing retry logic in node-fetch api call

I hope you will forgive the beginners question, I'm trying to implement a simple retry policy for an api call using node-fetch

This is being added to an existing repo using TypeScript so I'm using this also, hence the data definitions.

async checkStatus(custId: string,  expectedStatus: string) {        const response = await fetch(            `${'env.API_URL'}/api/customer/applications/${custId}`,            {                method: 'GET',                headers: headers,            },        )        expect(response.status, "Response status should be 200").to.be.equal(200)        const resp = await response.json()        expect(resp.status).to.contain(expectedStatus)        return resp.status;}

I am calling it like so

await this.checkApplicationStatus(custId, 'NEW')await this.checkApplicationStatus(custId, 'EXISTING')//and so forth

Is there a neat way of retrying based on an unexpected expectedStatus ?

Again, I appreciate there may be many examples out there but as a beginner, I am struggling to see a good/best-practice approach so looking for someone to provide an example. I don't need to use Chai assertions, this was just my first attempt.

TIA
