[Bug]: Remove delay before displaying results

[pereorga]

Bug description

When answering a question about tom-select performance in Stack Overflow, I noticed there is a delay when searching. When not loading the data from a remote resource, results start appearing half a second later, no matter how many options the element has.

Expected behavior

Ideally, results should display immediately after key press. In other solutions (Selectize.js, typeahead.js, etc.) results appear immediately

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to https://tom-select.js.org/
2. Click on the example
3. Press "b"
4. See results appear after a short delay, maybe 0.5 seconds

Additional context

• OS: All
• Browser: All
• Version: latest
• Device: All

I've also noticed this. I notice that selectize.js doesn't have this issue and there appears to be some minimal activity in that repo, even if it's mostly documentation related, so I decided to go with that one.

This is not documented, AFAICS, but this can be addressed setting refreshThrottle option to 0:

  refreshThrottle: 0,

Found it in the code:

tom-select/src/defaults.ts

Line 26 in 69180fa

refreshThrottle: 300,

Nice find @pereorga! Can confirm it works in a codepen. One of us should make a PR to at least add this to the documentation, and maybe also default it to 0.

I would be happy to do it if there was a chance it can get merged (unfortunately, the project seems a bit unmaintained at this moment). Meanwhile, people can find the solution here.

Good find!
For me I also had to change loadThrottle.
