How to implement on_change debouncing?

[MShekow]

Hi, what is the best way to implement debouncing of CHANGE events?

[fscherf]

I am sorry, what do you mean with "debouncing"?

[MShekow]

It is explained well here http://reactivex.io/documentation/operators/debounce.html
The use case is to avoid overloading the backend.

Ah! lona.html.TextInput does something like that by setting its input timeout. The client then delays all input events and discards them if another event gets fired while the timeout is not met (https://github.com/lona-web-org/lona/blob/master/lona/client/input-events.js#L108)

Currently that's implemented in the client. Do you need that for click events too?

[MShekow]

Thank you for elaborating. From the term (input_delay) and the documentation it was not obvious that debouncing already happens.

I do not need the functionality for CLICK events.

Ah ok! Maybe you can improve the docs on that topic?
