## Page: https://github.com/xnimorz/use-debounce/blob/master/README.md     React libraries for debouncing without tears! * Small size < 1 Kb * Compatible with underscore / lodash impl — learn once, use everywhere * Server-rendering friendly! * classic debounced callback * **value** debouncing * cancel, maxWait and memoization yarn add use-debounce # or npm i use-debounce --save Simple usage: https://codesandbox.io/s/kx75xzyrq7 Debounce HTTP request: https://codesandbox.io/s/rr40wnropq Debounce HTTP request with `leading` param: https://codesandbox.io/s/cache-example-with-areas-and-leading-param-119r3i Simple usage: https://codesandbox.io/s/x0jvqrwyq Combining with native event listeners: https://codesandbox.io/s/32yqlyo815 Cancelling, maxWait and memoization: https://codesandbox.io/s/4wvmp1xlw4 HTTP requests: https://codesandbox.io/s/use-debounce-callback-http-y1h3m6 https://github.com/xnimorz/use-debounce/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md According to https://twitter.com/dan\_abramov/status/1060729512227467264 WebArchive link: https://web.archive.org/web/20210828073432/https://twitter.com/dan\_abramov/status/1060729512227467264 import React, { useState } from 'react'; import { useDebounce } from 'use-debounce'; export default function Input() { const \[text, setText\] \= useState('Hello'); const \[value\] \= useDebounce(text, 1000); return ( <div\> <input defaultValue\={'Hello'} onChange\={(e) \=> { setText(e.target.value); }} /> <p\>Actual value: {text}</p\> <p\>Debounce value: {value}</p\> </div\> ); } This hook compares prev and next value using shallow equal. It means, setting an object `{}` will trigger debounce timer. If you have to compare objects (#27 (comment)), you can use `useDebouncedCallback`, that is explained below: Besides `useDebounce` for values you can debounce callbacks, that is the more commonly understood kind of debouncing. Example with Input (and react callbacks): https://codesandbox.io/s/x0jvqrwyq import { useDebouncedCallback } from 'use-debounce'; function Input({ defaultValue }) { const \[value, setValue\] \= useState(defaultValue); // Debounce callback const debounced \= useDebouncedCallback( // function (value) \=> { setValue(value); }, // delay in ms 1000 ); // you should use \`e => debounced(e.target.value)\` as react works with synthetic events return ( <div\> <input defaultValue\={defaultValue} onChange\={(e) \=> debounced(e.target.value)} /> <p\>Debounced value: {value}</p\> </div\> ); } Example with Scroll (and native event listeners): https://codesandbox.io/s/32yqlyo815 function ScrolledComponent() { // just a counter to show, that there are no any unnessesary updates const updatedCount \= useRef(0); updatedCount.current++; const \[position, setPosition\] \= useState(window.pageYOffset); // Debounce callback const debounced \= useDebouncedCallback( // function () \=> { setPosition(window.pageYOffset); }, // delay in ms 800 ); useEffect(() \=> { const unsubscribe \= subscribe(window, 'scroll', debounced); return () \=> { unsubscribe(); }; }, \[\]); return ( <div style\={{ height: 10000 }}\> <div style\={{ position: 'fixed', top: 0, left: 0 }}\> <p\>Debounced top position: {position}</p\> <p\>Component rerendered {updatedCount.current} times</p\> </div\> </div\> ); } Subsequent calls to the debounced function `debounced` return the result of the last func invocation. Note, that if there are no previous invocations it's mean you will get undefined. You should check it in your code properly. Example: it('Subsequent calls to the debounced function \`debounced\` return the result of the last func invocation.', () \=> { const callback \= jest.fn(() \=> 42); let callbackCache; function Component() { const debounced \= useDebouncedCallback(callback, 1000); callbackCache \= debounced; return null; } Enzyme.mount(<Component />); const result \= callbackCache(); expect(callback.mock.calls.length).toBe(0); expect(result).toBeUndefined(); act(() \=> { jest.runAllTimers(); }); expect(callback.mock.calls.length).toBe(1); const subsequentResult \= callbackCache(); expect(callback.mock.calls.length).toBe(1); expect(subsequentResult).toBe(42); }); 1. Both `useDebounce` and `useDebouncedCallback` works with `maxWait` option. This params describes the maximum time func is allowed to be delayed before it's invoked. 2. You can cancel debounce cycle, by calling `cancel` callback The full example you can see here https://codesandbox.io/s/4wvmp1xlw4 import React, { useState } from 'react'; import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'; import { useDebouncedCallback } from 'use-debounce'; function Input({ defaultValue }) { const \[value, setValue\] \= useState(defaultValue); const debounced \= useDebouncedCallback( (value) \=> { setValue(value); }, 500, // The maximum time func is allowed to be delayed before it's invoked: { maxWait: 2000 } ); // you should use \`e => debounced(e.target.value)\` as react works with synthetic events return ( <div\> <input defaultValue\={defaultValue} onChange\={(e) \=> debounced(e.target.value)} /> <p\>Debounced value: {value}</p\> <button onClick\={debounced.cancel}\>Cancel Debounce cycle</button\> </div\> ); } const rootElement \= document.getElementById('root'); ReactDOM.render(<Input defaultValue\="Hello world" />, rootElement); The same API is available for `useDebounce` calls: const \[value, {cancel, isPending, flush}\] \= useDebounce(valueToDebounce); ... cancel() // cancels pending debounce request isPending() // returns if there is a pending debouncing request flush() // immediately flushes pending request `useDebouncedCallback` has `flush` method. It allows to call the callback manually if it hasn't fired yet. This method is handy to use when the user takes an action that would cause the component to unmount, but you need to execute the callback. import React, { useState } from 'react'; import { useDebouncedCallback } from 'use-debounce'; function InputWhichFetchesSomeData({ defaultValue, asyncFetchData }) { const debounced \= useDebouncedCallback( (value) \=> { asyncFetchData; }, 500, { maxWait: 2000 } ); // When the component goes to be unmounted, we will fetch data if the input has changed. useEffect( () \=> () \=> { debounced.flush(); }, \[debounced\] ); return ( <input defaultValue\={defaultValue} onChange\={(e) \=> debounced(e.target.value)} /> ); } `isPending` method shows whether component has pending callbacks. Works for both `useDebounce` and `useDebouncedCallback`: import React, { useCallback } from 'react'; function Component({ text }) { const debounced \= useDebouncedCallback( useCallback(() \=> {}, \[\]), 500 ); expect(debounced.isPending()).toBeFalsy(); debounced(); expect(debounced.isPending()).toBeTruthy(); debounced.flush(); expect(debounced.isPending()).toBeFalsy(); return <span\>{text}</span\>; } Both `useDebounce` and `useDebouncedCallback` work with the `leading` and `trailing` options. `leading` param will execute the function once immediately when called. Subsequent calls will be debounced until the timeout expires. `trailing` option controls whenever to call the callback after timeout again. For more information on how leading debounce calls work see: https://lodash.com/docs/#debounce import React, { useState } from 'react'; import { useDebounce } from 'use-debounce'; export default function Input() { const \[text, setText\] \= useState('Hello'); const \[value\] \= useDebounce(text, 1000, { leading: true }); // value is updated immediately when text changes the first time, // but all subsequent changes are debounced. return ( <div\> <input defaultValue\={'Hello'} onChange\={(e) \=> { setText(e.target.value); }} /> <p\>Actual value: {text}</p\> <p\>Debounce value: {value}</p\> </div\> ); } You can provide additional options as a third argument to both `useDebounce` and `useDebouncedCallback`: | option | default | Description | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | maxWait | \- | Describes the maximum time func is allowed to be delayed before it's invoked | https://github.com/xnimorz/use-debounce#cancel-maxwait-and-memoization | | leading | \- | This param will execute the function once immediately when called. Subsequent calls will be debounced until the timeout expires. | https://github.com/xnimorz/use-debounce#leading-calls | | trailing | true | This param executes the function after timeout. | https://github.com/xnimorz/use-debounce#leading-calls | | equalityFn | (prev, next) => prev === next | \[useDebounce ONLY\] Comparator function which shows if timeout should be started | | You are able to use throttled callback with this library also (starting 5.2.0 version). For this purpose use: import useThrottledCallback from 'use-debounce/useThrottledCallback'; or import { useThrottledCallback } from 'use-debounce'; Several examples: 1. Avoid excessively updating the position while scrolling. const scrollHandler \= useThrottledCallback(updatePosition, 100); window.addEventListener('scroll', scrollHandler); 2. Invoke `renewToken` when the click event is fired, but not more than once every 5 minutes. const throttled \= useThrottledCallback(renewToken, 300000, { 'trailing': false }) <button onClick\={throttled}\>click</button\> All the params for `useThrottledCallback` are the same as for `useDebouncedCallback` except `maxWait` option. As it's not needed for throttle callbacks. @tryggvigy — for managing lots of new features of the library like trailing and leading params, throttle callback, etc; @omgovich — for reducing bundle size.
