Creates a throttled function that only invokes the provided function at most once per every `wait` milliseconds
|
|
|
|
- Use `setTimeout()` and `clearTimeout()` to throttle the given method, `fn`.
|
|
- Use `Function.prototype.apply()` to apply the `this` context to the function and provide the necessary `arguments`.
|
|
- Use `Date.now()` to keep track of the last time the throttled function was invoked.
|
|
- Use a variable, `inThrottle`, to prevent a race condition between the first execution of `fn` and the next loop.
|
|
- Omit the second argument, `wait`, to set the timeout at a default of 0 ms.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const throttle = (fn, wait) => {
|
|
let inThrottle, lastFn, lastTime;
|
|
return function() {
|
|
const context = this,
|
|
args = arguments;
|
|
if (!inThrottle) {
|
|
fn.apply(context, args);
|
|
lastTime = Date.now();
|
|
inThrottle = true;
|
|
} else {
|
|
clearTimeout(lastFn);
|
|
lastFn = setTimeout(function() {
|
|
if (Date.now() - lastTime >= wait) {
|
|
fn.apply(context, args);
|
|
lastTime = Date.now();
|
|
}
|
|
}, Math.max(wait - (Date.now() - lastTime), 0));
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
window.addEventListener(
|
|
'resize',
|
|
throttle(function(evt) {
|
|
console.log(window.innerWidth);
|
|
console.log(window.innerHeight);
|
|
}, 250)
|
|
); // Will log the window dimensions at most every 250ms
|
|
```
