Creates a debounced function that returns a promise, but delays invoking the provided function until at least `ms` milliseconds have elapsed since the last time it was invoked.
All promises returned during this time will return the same data.
- Each time the debounced function is invoked, clear the current pending timeout with `clearTimeout()` and use `setTimeout()` to create a new timeout that delays invoking the function until at least `ms` milliseconds has elapsed.
- Use `Function.prototype.apply()` to apply the `this` context to the function and provide the necessary arguments.
- Create a new `Promise` and add its `resolve` and `reject` callbacks to the `pending` promises stack.
- When `setTimeout` is called, copy the current stack (as it can change between the provided function call and its resolution), clear it and call the provided function.
- When the provided function resolves/rejects, resolve/reject all promises in the stack (copied when the function was called) with the returned data.
- Omit the second argument, `ms`, to set the timeout at a default of `0` ms.
```js
const debouncePromise = (fn, ms = 0) => {
let timeoutId;
const pending = [];
return (...args) =>
new Promise((res, rej) => {
clearTimeout(timeoutId);
timeoutId = setTimeout(() => {
const currentPending = [...pending];
pending.length = 0;
Promise.resolve(fn.apply(this, args)).then(
data => {
currentPending.forEach(({ resolve }) => resolve(data));
},
error => {
currentPending.forEach(({ reject }) => reject(error));
}
);
}, ms);
pending.push({ resolve: res, reject: rej });
});
};
```
```js
const fn = arg => new Promise(resolve => {
setTimeout(resolve, 1000, ['resolved', arg]);
});
const debounced = debouncePromise(fn, 200);
debounced('foo').then(console.log);
debounced('bar').then(console.log);
// Will log ['resolved', 'bar'] both times
```
