What is @types/throttle-debounce?
@types/throttle-debounce provides TypeScript type definitions for the throttle-debounce library, which offers utility functions for throttling and debouncing function calls. These utilities are useful for controlling the rate at which a function is executed, especially in response to events like scrolling or resizing.
What are @types/throttle-debounce's main functionalities?
Throttle
The throttle function ensures that the provided function is executed at most once every specified number of milliseconds (200ms in this case). This is useful for performance optimization in scenarios like handling scroll events.
const { throttle } = require('throttle-debounce');
const throttledFunction = throttle(200, () => {
console.log('Throttled function executed');
});
window.addEventListener('scroll', throttledFunction);
Debounce
The debounce function ensures that the provided function is executed only after a specified number of milliseconds (200ms in this case) have passed since the last time the function was invoked. This is useful for scenarios like handling resize events.
const { debounce } = require('throttle-debounce');
const debouncedFunction = debounce(200, () => {
console.log('Debounced function executed');
});
window.addEventListener('resize', debouncedFunction);
Other packages similar to @types/throttle-debounce
lodash
Lodash is a popular utility library that provides a wide range of functions, including throttle and debounce. It is more comprehensive than throttle-debounce, offering many other utilities for working with arrays, objects, and functions.
underscore
Underscore is another utility library similar to Lodash, providing a variety of functions including throttle and debounce. It is less feature-rich compared to Lodash but still widely used for its simplicity and ease of use.
rxjs
RxJS is a library for reactive programming using Observables, which makes it ideal for handling asynchronous events. It includes operators like throttleTime and debounceTime, which offer similar functionality to throttle and debounce but within the context of reactive programming.
