These jargon is nothing but ways to improve javascript❤ performance.
Debounce
Debounce is improved version of throttle. beware that it will only run when cursor stops running, might miss some important inputs. If you move the cursor within second then it will reset the cursor.
snippet.js
function doSomething(){
clearTimeout(interval);
interval = setTimeout(function(){
//your code
},1000)
}
Throttle
Throttle is useful when you want to ensure that a function is called at a limited rate or frequency, without missing any important inputs or events.❤
snippet.js
// after 1sec irrespective of cursor movement
let isScroll = true;
function doSomething(){
if(isScroll){
//your code
isScroll = false;
}
setTimeout(function(){
isScroll = true;
},1000)
}

// you can create a seperate module and import them to make codebase cleaner❤
