How to wait for the 'end' of 'resize' event and only then perform an action?

Question

So I currently use something like:

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

But this gets called many times while resizing process goes o

Answer 1

There is a much simpler method to execute a function at the end of the resize than calculate the delta time between two calls, simply do it like this :

var resizeId;
$(window).resize(function() {
    clearTimeout(resizeId);
    resizeId = setTimeout(resizedEnded, 500);
});

function resizedEnded(){
    ...
}

And the equivalent for Angular2 :

private resizeId;
@HostListener('window:resize', ['$event'])
onResized(event: Event) {
  clearTimeout(this.resizeId);
  this.resizeId = setTimeout(() => {
    // Your callback method here.
  }, 500);
}

For the angular method, use the () => { } notation in the setTimeout to preserve the scope, otherwise you will not be able to make any function calls or use this.
