Understanding the Differences

* Debouncing is a technique that ensures a function is
only executed after a specified time has elapsed
since the last time it was invoked.
* Ideal for scenarios where you want to execute a
function only after the user has stopped an action.
* Commonly used in:
Search input fields (to limit API calls while typing)
Window resizing events

* Throttling is a technique that ensures a function is
executed at most once in a specified time interval.
* It allows a function to run repeatedly at defined
intervals, regardless of how many times the
event is triggered.
* Commonly used in:
Scroll events (for infinite scrolling)
Resize events

Debouncing waits for a pause in events before executing
the function.
If the event fires again within the specified time,

Key Point: The function is executed only after the specified
delay, making it ideal for scenarios like search inputs.

Throttling allows a function to execute at regular intervals, no
matter how many times the event is triggered.
Key Point: The function is executed at most once every
specified interval, making it suitable for high-frequency
events like scrolling. a " setecer aI

* Debouncing: Reduces the number of function calls
by executing only after the user has finished an
action, enhancing resource management.
¢ Throttling: Controls the rate of function execution,
preventing performance bottlenecks during

rstanding when to use debouncing or throttling is
crucial for optimizing performance in web applications.
Both techniques help manage resource usage effectively,
but they serve different purposes based on the use case.
