JQuery: How to call RESIZE event only once it's FINISHED resizing?

Question

How do I call a function once the browser windows has FINISHED resizing?

I\'m trying to do it like so, but am having problems. I\'m using the JQuery Resize

Answer 1

Here is an example using thejh's instructions

You can store a reference id to any setInterval or setTimeout. Like this:

var loop = setInterval(func, 30);

// some time later clear the interval
clearInterval(loop);

Answer 2

Debounce.

function debouncer( func , timeout ) {
   var timeoutID , timeout = timeout || 200;
   return function () {
      var scope = this , args = arguments;
      clearTimeout( timeoutID );
      timeoutID = setTimeout( function () {
          func.apply( scope , Array.prototype.slice.call( args ) );
      } , timeout );
   }
}


$( window ).resize( debouncer( function ( e ) {
    // do stuff 
} ) );

Note, you can use this method for anything you want to debounce (key events etc).

Tweak the timeout parameter for optimal desired effect.
