how to use the throttle function from lodash in javascript

To use the throttle function from lodash in JavaScript, you first need to install the lodash library. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

index.tsx
npm install lodash

2 lines

Then, you can import the throttle function into your JavaScript file by adding the following line at the top:

index.tsx
import { throttle } from 'lodash';
35 chars
2 lines

Once you have imported the throttle function, you can use it to throttle the execution of a function. Here is an example:

index.tsx
function logMessage() {
  console.log('This message should be throttled!');
}

const throttleLogMessage = throttle(logMessage, 1000);
throttleLogMessage(); // logs 'This message should be throttled!' to the console

// If you call `throttleLogMessage` again before 1000ms has passed, it won't execute the `logMessage` function

9 lines

In this example, the throttle function is used to throttle the execution of the logMessage function. The second argument to the throttle function specifies the time in milliseconds that must elapse before the function can be executed again.

Note that the throttle function returns a new function that you can call to execute the throttled function. In the example above, the throttleLogMessage variable holds the new, throttled function that you can call instead of the original logMessage function.
