ng-debounce-throttle v1.0.1
ng-debounce-throttle
AngularJS services for debounce and throttle.
Why another AngularJS debounce/throttle module?
I know that there already are various versions of modules that provide services for debounce and throttle. However, most of them had something missing. I wanted:
- debounce and throttle service combined in one module
leading,trailingflagsinvokeApplyflagscancel()method
Code and documentation is partly adopted from
- Angular Debounce Copyright (c) 2013 Steve
- angular.throttle
Other/similar modules are: ng-debottle, angular-debounce-throttle, angular-throttle-debounce, angular-debounce
Installation
Install via Bower:
bower install --save ng-debounce-throttle<script src="bower_components/ng-debounce-throttle/ng-debounce-throttle.js"></script>Install via NPM:
npm install --save ng-debounce-throttle<script src="node_modules/ng-debounce-throttle/ng-debounce-throttle.js"></script>Add dependency to your app module:
angular.module('myApp', ['ngDebounceThrottle']);Usage
$debounce
Service that creates and returns a new debounced version of the passed function, which will postpone its execution until after delay milliseconds have elapsed since the last time it was invoked. Useful for implementing behavior that should only happen after the input has stopped arriving. For example: recalculating a layout after the window has stopped being resized.
$debounce(func, delay, [leading=false], [invokeApply=true]);Arguments
| Param | Type | Details |
|---|---|---|
| func | function | The function we want to debounce. |
| delay | number | Number of milliseconds to wait before invoking the debounced function. |
| leading (optional) | boolean | If true, the function is triggered on the leading instead of the trailing edge of the delay interval. Useful for circumstances like preventing accidental double-clicks on a "submit" button from firing a second time. Default: false |
| invokeApply (optional) | boolean | If true, an angular digest cycle is triggered (see $timeout service for more details). Default: true |
Returns
A debounced version of the passed function. Any arguments passed to this function will be also passed.
The returned function also has a cancel() method, which can be used in case you want to reset the current debounce state. This will prevent the function from being triggered even after delay milliseconds have passed from last input. In case leading is true, the next user input will trigger the debounce.
Example
angular.module('myApp').controller('myCtrl', ['$element', '$debounce', function ($element, $debounce) {
var onMouseMove = $debounce(function () {
console.log('Mouse is resting inside element');
}, 1000, false, false);
$element.on('mousemove', onMouseMove);
$element.on('mouseleave', function () {
onMouseMove.cancel();
});
}]);$throttle
Service that creates and returns a new throttled version of the passed function, which will trigger its execution only every delay milliseconds. This is useful to tear down fast iterative events, like window.resize.
$throttle(func, delay, [leading=false], [trailing=true], [invokeApply=false]);Arguments
| Param | Type | Details |
|---|---|---|
| func | function | The function we want to throttle. |
| delay | number | Number of milliseconds to wait between each input before invoking the function. |
| leading (optional) | boolean | If true, the function will be invoked at the startup. Default: false |
| trailing (optional) | boolean | If true, the function will be invoked at end of the operation. Default: true |
| invokeApply (optional) | boolean | If true, an an angular digest cycle is triggered each time the function is invoked. Default: false |
Returns
A throttled version of the passed function. Any arguments passed to this function will be also passed.
The returned function also has a cancel() method, which can be used in case you want to reset the current throttle state. This will cause that the next input will trigger the function immediately.
Example
angular.module('myApp').controller('myCtrl', ['$element', '$throttle', function ($element, $throttle) {
var onMouseMove = $throttle(function (event) {
console.log(event.offsetX, event.offsetY);
}, 500);
$element.on('mousemove', onMouseMove);
}]);License
