Perform debounce in React.js

Question

How do you perform debounce in React.js?

I want to debounce the handleOnChange.

I tried with debounce(this.handleOnChange, 200) but it doesn\'t

I found this post by Justin Tulk very helpful. After a couple of attempts, in what one would perceive to be the more official way with react/redux, it shows that it fails due to React's synthetic event pooling. His solution then uses some internal state to track the value changed/entered in the input, with a callback right after setState which calls a throttled/debounced redux action that shows some results in realtime.

import React, {Component} from 'react'
import TextField from 'material-ui/TextField'
import { debounce } from 'lodash'

class TableSearch extends Component {

  constructor(props){
    super(props)

    this.state = {
        value: props.value
    }

    this.changeSearch = debounce(this.props.changeSearch, 250)
  }

  handleChange = (e) => {
    const val = e.target.value

    this.setState({ value: val }, () => {
      this.changeSearch(val)
    })
  }

  render() {

    return (
        
    )
  }
}
