how to use the throttle function from the underscore library in javascript

First, ensure that underscore is installed in your project.

Then, you can use the throttle function like this:

index.tsx
// import the throttle function from underscore
import { throttle } from 'underscore';

// define a function to be throttled
function myFunction() {
  console.log("Hello World");
}

// throttle the function to run at most once every 100 ms
const throttledFunction = throttle(myFunction, 100);

// call the throttled function
throttledFunction();

14 lines

The throttle function returns a new function that can be called repeatedly, but will only execute the original function at most once every wait milliseconds.

Note that if the throttled function is called more frequently than the wait time, the function will simply be called once per wait period. If you need guarantees about the timing of your function calls, you may want to use the debounce function instead.
