📚 What Did I Learn

🕒 Debouncing

Debouncing is a technique used to limit the number of times a function is executed, even if it is triggered repeatedly. For example, when typing in a search bar, debouncing ensures that the API call is made only after the user has stopped typing for a short period. This reduces unnecessary API calls and improves performance.
