What are some effective throttling techniques in Vue.js?

In Vue.js, throttling techniques help manage the frequency of function calls, especially during events like scrolling or resizing. One common method is using the Lodash library's throttle function.

Can you explain how to implement Lodash's throttle in a Vue component?

Sure! First, install Lodash with npm install lodash. Then, import it in your component and use it to throttle your method. For example:

import { throttle } from 'lodash';

export default {
  methods: {
    handleScroll: throttle(function() {
      console.log('Scroll event triggered!');
    }, 200)
  },
  mounted() {
    window.addEventListener('scroll', this.handleScroll);
  },
  beforeDestroy() {
    window.removeEventListener('scroll', this.handleScroll);
  }
};

What is the difference between throttling and debouncing?

Throttling ensures a function is called at most once in a specified time period, while debouncing delays the function call until after a specified time has passed since the last call. Throttling is useful for continuous events, while debouncing is better for events that occur in bursts.
