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

Answer 1

a little late here but this should help. create this class(its written in typescript but its easy to convert it to javascript)

export class debouncedMethod{
  constructor(method:T, debounceTime:number){
    this._method = method;
    this._debounceTime = debounceTime;
  }
  private _method:T;
  private _timeout:number;
  private _debounceTime:number;
  public invoke:T = ((...args:any[])=>{
    this._timeout && window.clearTimeout(this._timeout);
    this._timeout = window.setTimeout(()=>{
      (this._method as any)(...args);
    },this._debounceTime);
  }) as any;
}

and to use

var foo = new debouncedMethod((name,age)=>{
 console.log(name,age);
},500);
foo.invoke("john",31);
