Methods 2
ListFetch:on_done
methodListFetch:on_done(callback?: fun(handle: ListFetch))Set, replace, or clear (pass nil) the callback run once, as a callback of its own, when this operation leaves pending. On a handle that has already left it, the callback runs after the current callback returns, never during this call. A set callback keeps the operation's outcome alive, even with no other reference to the handle, and keeps the app running until it runs or is cleared.
