Debounce in Javascript

Debounce is a JavaScript technique that delays function execution until a specified time has passed since the last event, helping to prevent unnecessary API calls and improve performance. It works by clearing a previous timer and setting a new one each time the function is called, ensuring execution only after a defined delay of inactivity. Common use cases for debounce include search bars, button clicks, window resizing, and form validations.

How Does Debounce
Work?
Every time the function is called:
If there’s a previous timer, it’s cleared.
A new timer is set.

This ensures the function executes only after the


user stops triggering the event for a defined delay.
