useAsyncThrottler

Function: useAsyncThrottler()

ts
function useAsyncThrottler<TFn, TArgs>(fn, options): AsyncThrottler<TFn, TArgs>
function useAsyncThrottler<TFn, TArgs>(fn, options): AsyncThrottler<TFn, TArgs>

Defined in: async-throttler/useAsyncThrottler.ts:44

A low-level React hook that creates an AsyncThrottler instance to limit how often an async function can execute.

This hook is designed to be flexible and state-management agnostic - it simply returns a throttler instance that you can integrate with any state management solution (useState, Redux, Zustand, Jotai, etc).

Async throttling ensures an async function executes at most once within a specified time window, regardless of how many times it is called. This is useful for rate-limiting expensive API calls, database operations, or other async tasks.

Type Parameters

TFn extends AnyAsyncFunction

TArgs extends any[]

Parameters

fn

TFn

options

AsyncThrottlerOptions<TFn, TArgs>

Returns

AsyncThrottler<TFn, TArgs>

Example

tsx
// Basic API call throttling
const { maybeExecute } = useAsyncThrottler(
  async (id: string) => {
    const data = await api.fetchData(id);
    return data;
  },
  { wait: 1000 }
);

// With state management
const [data, setData] = useState(null);
const { maybeExecute } = useAsyncThrottler(
  async (query) => {
    const result = await searchAPI(query);
    setData(result);
  },
  {
    wait: 2000,
    leading: true,   // Execute immediately on first call
    trailing: false  // Skip trailing edge updates
  }
);
