Throttle rather than debounce?

[DanielHeath]

With debounce, you can get 'starvation' where new events keep arriving, preventing you from ever re-rendering.

lodash.throttle allows one re-render per 'wait' period, which I think would still achieve the performance aims of this library without allowing the UI to get stuck.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the suggestion. Does the maxWait option of _.debounce address your issue? Doing something like this should ensure that your component gets rendered at least 4 times per second:

const debouncedMyReactComponent = debounceRender(MyReactComponent, 100, { 
    maxWait: 250 
});

ref: https://lodash.com/docs/#debounce

That would do it, yeah.

Bit of a thing to trip over newcomers, though. Maybe a note in the sample usage section of the readme?

Hi Daniel,

I've updated the documentation to add the maxWait example. It also mentions that lodash debounce is used under the hood and that it can be configured. I hope this addresses the issue you raised?

Let me know if I can close this ticket and thanks for use this lib!

Looking good!
