how to use the audittime function from the rxjs library in javascript

The auditTime function from the rxjs library is used to emit the most recent value from the source observable at a specified interval. It is useful in scenarios where you want to throttle the emission of values but still want to capture the most recent value.

Here is an example of how to use auditTime:

index.tsx
import { fromEvent } from 'rxjs';
import { auditTime } from 'rxjs/operators';

// create an observable from an HTML button click event
const button = document.querySelector('button');
const buttonClick$ = fromEvent(button, 'click');

// audit the button click emission every 1 second
const auditTime$ = buttonClick$.pipe(
  auditTime(1000)
);

// subscribe to the audited emissions
auditTime$.subscribe((event) => {
  console.log(`Button clicked at ${new Date()}`);
});

In the example above, we created an observable from a button click event using the fromEvent function. We then piped the observable through the auditTime operator with a duration of 1000ms (1 second). This means that the most recent value emitted by the source observable (button click) will be captured every second.

Finally, we subscribed to the auditTime$ observable and logged each audited emission to the console.
