from the lodash documentation:
Throttle
Creates a throttled function that only invokes func at most once per every wait milliseconds
Debounce
Creates a debounced function that delays invoking func until after wait milliseconds have elapsed since the last time the debounced function was invoked
I am a little bit confused about these two definitions, it sounds that they are similar.
Can someone give us a simple explanation with examples.
The lodash docs link to the article Debouncing and Throttling Explained Through Examples.
From that article:
The Debounce technique allow us to "group" multiple sequential calls in a single one.
By using _.throttle, we don't allow to our function to execute more than once every X milliseconds.
The main difference between this and debouncing is that throttle guarantees the execution of the function regularly, at least every X milliseconds.
The article explains the differences clearly using prose and diagrams.
