What is input debouncing in Vue.js?

Input debouncing is a technique used to limit the rate at which a function is executed. In Vue.js, it helps optimize performance by reducing the number of times an event handler is called during rapid input changes.

How do I implement input debouncing in my Vue component?

You can implement input debouncing in Vue by using a combination of the watch property and a debounce function, like lodash's debounce.

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

<template>
  <input v-model="searchTerm" @input="debouncedSearch" />
</template>

<script>
import { debounce } from 'lodash';

export default {
  data() {
    return {
      searchTerm: '',
    };
  },
  methods: {
    search() {
      // Perform search logic here
    },
    debouncedSearch: debounce(function() {
      this.search();
    }, 300),
  },
};
</script>

What are the benefits of using debouncing?

Debouncing improves performance by reducing the number of function calls, which is especially useful for handling events like input changes or window resizing.
