function throttle<TFn, TArgs>(fn, initialOptions): (...args) => void
Defined in: throttler.ts:242
Creates a throttled function that limits how often the provided function can execute.
Throttling ensures a 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 operations or UI updates.
The throttled function can be configured to execute on the leading and/or trailing edge of the throttle window via options.
For handling bursts of events, consider using debounce() instead. For hard execution limits, consider using rateLimit().

Function
Attempts to execute the throttled function. The execution behavior depends on the throttler options:
If enough time has passed since the last execution (>= wait period):
If within the wait period:
...TArgs
void
const throttled = new Throttler(fn, { wait: 1000 });
// First call executes immediately
throttled.maybeExecute('a', 'b');
// Call during wait period - gets throttled
throttled.maybeExecute('c', 'd');
const throttled = new Throttler(fn, { wait: 1000 });
// First call executes immediately
throttled.maybeExecute('a', 'b');
// Call during wait period - gets throttled
throttled.maybeExecute('c', 'd');
// Basic throttling - max once per second
const throttled = throttle(updateUI, { wait: 1000 });
// Configure leading/trailing execution
const throttled = throttle(saveData, {
wait: 2000,
leading: true, // Execute immediately on first call
trailing: true // Execute again after delay if called during wait
});
