Question

I\'m using JQuery as such:

$(window).resize(function() { ... });

However, it appears that if the person manually resizes their browser wind

Simple jQuery plugin for delayed window resize event.

SYNTAX:

Add new function to resize event

jQuery(window).resizeDelayed( func, delay, id ); // delay and id are optional

Remove the function(by declaring its ID) added earlier

jQuery(window).resizeDelayed( false, id );

Remove all functions

jQuery(window).resizeDelayed( false );

USAGE:

// ADD SOME FUNCTIONS TO RESIZE EVENT
jQuery(window).resizeDelayed( function(){ console.log( 'first event - should run after 0.4 seconds'); }, 400,  'id-first-event' );
jQuery(window).resizeDelayed( function(){ console.log('second event - should run after 1.5 seconds'); }, 1500, 'id-second-event' );
jQuery(window).resizeDelayed( function(){ console.log( 'third event - should run after 3.0 seconds'); }, 3000, 'id-third-event' );

// LETS DELETE THE SECOND ONE
jQuery(window).resizeDelayed( false, 'id-second-event' );

// LETS ADD ONE WITH AUTOGENERATED ID(THIS COULDNT BE DELETED LATER) AND DEFAULT TIMEOUT (500ms)
jQuery(window).resizeDelayed( function(){ console.log('newest event - should run after 0.5 second'); } );

// LETS CALL RESIZE EVENT MANUALLY MULTIPLE TIMES (OR YOU CAN RESIZE YOUR BROWSER WINDOW) TO SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN
jQuery(window).resize().resize().resize().resize().resize().resize().resize();

USAGE OUTPUT:

first event - should run after 0.4 seconds
newest event - should run after 0.5 second
third event - should run after 3.0 seconds

PLUGIN:

jQuery.fn.resizeDelayed = (function(){

    // >>> THIS PART RUNS ONLY ONCE - RIGHT NOW

    var rd_funcs = [], rd_counter = 1, foreachResizeFunction = function( func ){ for( var index in rd_funcs ) { func(index); } };

    // REGISTER JQUERY RESIZE EVENT HANDLER
    jQuery(window).resize(function() {

        // SET/RESET TIMEOUT ON EACH REGISTERED FUNCTION
        foreachResizeFunction(function(index){

            // IF THIS FUNCTION IS MANUALLY DISABLED ( by calling jQuery(window).resizeDelayed(false, 'id') ),
            // THEN JUST CONTINUE TO NEXT ONE
            if( rd_funcs[index] === false )
                return; // CONTINUE;

            // IF setTimeout IS ALREADY SET, THAT MEANS THAT WE SHOULD RESET IT BECAUSE ITS CALLED BEFORE DURATION TIME EXPIRES
            if( rd_funcs[index].timeout !== false )
                clearTimeout( rd_funcs[index].timeout );

            // SET NEW TIMEOUT BY RESPECTING DURATION TIME
            rd_funcs[index].timeout = setTimeout( rd_funcs[index].func, rd_funcs[index].delay );

        });

    });

    // <<< THIS PART RUNS ONLY ONCE - RIGHT NOW

    // RETURN THE FUNCTION WHICH JQUERY SHOULD USE WHEN jQuery(window).resizeDelayed(...) IS CALLED
    return function( func_or_false, delay_or_id, id ){

        // FIRST PARAM SHOULD BE SET!
        if( typeof func_or_false == "undefined" ){

            console.log( 'jQuery(window).resizeDelayed(...) REQUIRES AT LEAST 1 PARAMETER!' );
            return this; // RETURN JQUERY OBJECT

        }

        // SHOULD WE DELETE THE EXISTING FUNCTION(S) INSTEAD OF CREATING A NEW ONE?
        if( func_or_false == false ){

            // DELETE ALL REGISTERED FUNCTIONS?
            if( typeof delay_or_id == "undefined" ){

                // CLEAR ALL setTimeout's FIRST
                foreachResizeFunction(function(index){

                    if( typeof rd_funcs[index] != "undefined" && rd_funcs[index].timeout !== false )
                        clearTimeout( rd_funcs[index].timeout );

                });

                rd_funcs = [];

                return this; // RETURN JQUERY OBJECT

            }
            // DELETE ONLY THE FUNCTION WITH SPECIFIC ID?
            else if( typeof rd_funcs[delay_or_id] != "undefined" ){

                // CLEAR setTimeout FIRST
                if( rd_funcs[delay_or_id].timeout !== false )
                    clearTimeout( rd_funcs[delay_or_id].timeout );

                rd_funcs[delay_or_id] = false;

                return this; // RETURN JQUERY OBJECT

            }

        }

        // NOW, FIRST PARAM MUST BE THE FUNCTION
        if( typeof func_or_false != "function" )
            return this; // RETURN JQUERY OBJECT

        // SET THE DEFAULT DELAY TIME IF ITS NOT ALREADY SET
        if( typeof delay_or_id == "undefined" || isNaN(delay_or_id) )
            delay_or_id = 500;

        // SET THE DEFAULT ID IF ITS NOT ALREADY SET
        if( typeof id == "undefined" )
            id = rd_counter;

        // ADD NEW FUNCTION TO RESIZE EVENT
        rd_funcs[id] = {
            func : func_or_false,
            delay: delay_or_id,
            timeout : false
        };

        rd_counter++;

        return this; // RETURN JQUERY OBJECT

    }
