API

debounceFunction(input, options?)

Returns a debounced function that delays calling the input function until after wait milliseconds have elapsed since the last time the debounced function was called.

It comes with a .cancel() method to cancel any scheduled input function calls.

input

Type: Function

Function to debounce.

options

Type: object

wait

Type: number
Default: 0

Time in milliseconds to wait until the input function is called.

maxWait

Type: number
Default: Infinity

The maximum time the input function is allowed to be delayed before it's invoked.

This can be used to limit the number of calls handled in a constant stream. For example, a media player sending updates every few milliseconds but wants to be handled only once a second.

before

Type: boolean
Default: false

Trigger the function on the leading edge of the wait interval.

For example, can be useful for preventing accidental double-clicks on a "submit" button from firing a second time.

after

Type: boolean
Default: true

Trigger the function on the trailing edge of the wait interval.
