Debouncing is a technique to limit the number of times a function is called, ensuring that it only fires once after a specified delay. This is crucial for improving performance in applications where events like keystrokes or button clicks trigger expensive operations.
Instructions:
- Enter some text into the input field below.
- Note the number of events fired with and without debouncing.
Imagine each event was a call to a database; the debounced updates would significantly reduce the number of calls, providing a performance advantage.
