afterChange event

[claviska]

A lot of users require an efficient way of updating something within a specified timeframe after a change has occurred, but not on every single change event (because it fires very rapidly when dragging). This issue is a reminder for me to add this functionality into MiniColors.

The concept is a callback that fires at a configurable amount of time after the change event, but gets deferred on subsequent change events that fire before it is executed. This will be achieved with a setTimeout/clearTimeout to handle the delay. The options I'm proposing are:

$('input').minicolors({

    // delay the afterChange callback by half a second
    afterChangeDelay: 500

    // the callback function to execute
    afterChange: function() { ... }

});

If anyone has alternative suggestions for the callback name then please submit them here. I'm going to try to work this feature into the plugin this week if time permits.

After further consideration, I decided it would be better to simply add a changeDelay setting that, when set, would defer the change event from firing until the user finishes making their selection. This functionality is now available in 2.0.0-beta.4.
