DebounceMicrotask

Debounce a function using microtasks instead of timers.

Usage

import { debounceMicrotask } from "@vicary/debounce-microtask";

const debounced = debounceMicrotask((text: string) => {
  console.log("debounced", text);
});

debounced("a");
debounced("b");
debounced("c");

await Promise.resolve();

// Prints "debounced a"

Options

debounceLimit

Throws when the specified limit is reached before the function is run, this is a safety measure preventing recursive debounces. You may disable it with Infinity.

Defaults to 1000.

import { debounceMicrotask } from "@vicary/debounce-microtask";

const debounced = debounceMicrotask(
  (text: string) => {
    console.log("debounced", text);
  },
  { debounceLimit: 1 },
);

debounced("a");

debounced("b"); // Throws

limitAction

Specifies the action to take when the debounce limit is reached.

Possible values are throw, ignore, and invoke.

Defaults to throw.

import { debounceMicrotask } from "@vicary/debounce-microtask";

const debounced = debounceMicrotask(
  (text: string) => {
    console.log("debounced", text);
  },
  { limitAction: "throw" },
);

debounced("a");

debounced("b"); // Throws

updateArguments

Updates the calling arguments to the latest invocation.

Defaults to false.

import { debounceMicrotask } from "@vicary/debounce-microtask";

const debounced = debounceMicrotask(
  (text: string) => {
    console.log("debounced", text);
  },
  { updateArguments: true },
);

debounced("a");
debounced("b");
debounced("c");

await Promise.resolve();

// Prints "debounced c"

promise

Returns a promisified debounce function, the promise resolves when the specified function is called.

import { debounceMicrotask } from "@vicary/debounce-microtask/promise";

const debounced = debounceMicrotask(
  (text: string) => {
    console.log("debounced", text);
  },
  {
    updateArguments: true,
  },
);

await Promise.all([
  debounced("a"),
  debounced("b"),
  debounced("c"),
]);

// Only prints "debounced c"
