When should I use debounce in my code?

When should I use debounce in my code?

You should use debounce when you want to limit the rate at which a function is executed, especially for events like scrolling or resizing.

Can you give me an example of where debounce is useful?

Sure! Debounce is useful in search input fields where you want to wait for the user to stop typing before making an API call.

What happens if I don't use debounce in such cases?

Without debounce, your application might make too many API calls, leading to performance issues and unnecessary load on the server.

Are there any alternatives to debounce?

Yes, you can use throttle, which ensures a function is called at most once in a specified time interval, but it behaves differently.
