Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A clear and concise description of what the problem is.

When implementing polling functionality, it's challenging to handle various edge cases declaratively, and it often requires writing extensive boilerplate code to manage all possible scenarios properly.

Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

Interface Example

type PollingOptions<R> = {
  successWhen: (result: R) => boolean;
  cancelWhen: (result: R) => boolean;
  interval: number;
  intervalExponent?: number;
  endTime?: number;
};

const { data, loading, error } = usePolling(pollingCallback, pollingOptions);

When using this type of usePolling hook, a key advantage is that it allows you to manage asynchronous polling requests declaratively without boilerplate code. This creates a cleaner, more maintainable way to handle periodic API calls while waiting for specific conditions to be met.

Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

While this could be handled using React Query's refetch functionality, React Query has the drawback of being complex and heavyweight in specific use case.
