Understanding Debouncing and Throttling
Debouncing and throttling are both strategies to control the rate at which a function is executed in response to repeated events, such as user input.
- Debouncing ensures that a function is only called after a certain amount of time has passed since the last invocation, effectively delaying the execution until the user stops typing.
- Throttling limits the frequency of function calls to a specified interval, ensuring that the function is not invoked more than once during the interval.
How to use Debouncing and Throttling with React Hooks ?
In React applications, managing user input effectively is crucial for creating a smooth and responsive user experience. Two common techniques for handling user input efficiently are debouncing and throttling. In this article, we’ll explore how to implement debouncing and throttling in React using hooks, with easy-to-understand examples. We’ll also incorporate the JSON Placeholder API to demonstrate real-world usage scenarios.
