how to use the debounce function from the underscore library in typescript

To use the debounce function from the underscore library in TypeScript, you can follow these steps:

  1. Install the underscore library and its TypeScript definitions:
index.ts
npm install underscore
npm install @types/underscore
53 chars
3 lines
  1. Import the debounce function from the underscore library:
index.ts
import { debounce } from 'underscore';
39 chars
2 lines
  1. Declare the type of the function that you want to debounce:
index.ts
function myFunction(param1: string, param2: number): void {
  // do something
}
80 chars
4 lines
  1. Create a new debounced function by calling the debounce function and passing in the original function and the debounce delay in milliseconds:
index.ts
const debouncedFunction = debounce(myFunction, 500);
53 chars
2 lines

The debouncedFunction variable will now hold a new function that will execute myFunction only after a 500 millisecond delay between calls. You can call this new function just like the original function:

index.ts
debouncedFunction('hello', 123);
33 chars
2 lines

Note that the debounce function can also be imported from the lodash library and has a slightly different syntax.
