JavaScript Debouncing vs Throttling Techniques

🚀 JavaScript Concepts Series – Day 10 / 30 📌 Debouncing vs Throttling 👀 Let's Revise the Basics 🧐 Understanding Debouncing vs Throttling is essential for optimizing performance in real-world applications. These techniques control how often a function gets executed during frequent events. 🔹 Debouncing Executes function only after a delay Waits until user stops triggering the event Best for search inputs, typing function debounce(fn, delay) { let timer; return function () { clearTimeout(timer); timer = setTimeout(() => fn(), delay); }; } 🔹 Throttling Executes function at fixed intervals Limits how often function runs Best for scroll, resize events function throttle(fn, limit) { let flag = true; return function () { if (flag) { fn(); flag = false; setTimeout(() => (flag = true), limit); } }; } 💡 Key Insight Debounce → Executes after delay Throttle → Executes at intervals Debounce → Better for input Throttle → Better for continuous events Mastering these helps you improve performance and avoid unnecessary function calls.
