I recently learned about Debouncing in React and wanted to share how it can boost React Performance.
What I am gonna talk about specifically is "useDebounce" which is a custom React hook that delays the execution of a function until a specified time has passed since the last time it was invoked.
This is incredibly useful for scenarios like:
- Search Input: Delay the API call until the user has stopped typing.
- Form Validation: Prevent excessive validation checks on every keystroke.
I have shared some code down below which shows a simple implementation of the code.
Alternatively, if you prefer a library solution, lodash provides a debounce function that simplifies this process.
