* * const handleScroll = () => { * console.log('Scroll position:', window.scrollY); * updateScrollIndicator(); * }; * * const throttledScroll = throttle(handleScroll, 100); * * // In scroll event handler * window.addEventListener('scroll', throttledScroll); * // Handler executes at most once every 100ms during scrolling * ``` * * @example * API rate limiting: * ```typescript * const sendAnalytics = async (event: AnalyticsEvent) => { * console.log('Sending analytics:', event); * await fetch('/api/analytics', { * method: 'POST', * body: JSON.stringify(event) * }); * }; * * const throttledAnalytics = throttle(sendAnalytics, 1000); * * // Multiple rapid calls - only sent once per second * button.addEventListener('click', () => { * throttledAnalytics({ type: 'button_click', timestamp: Date.now() }); * }); * ``` * * @example * Execution mode configurations: * ```typescript * // Leading only: Execute immediately, ignore subsequent calls in window * const leadingOnly = throttle(updateCounter, 500, { * leading: true, * trailing: false * }); * * // Trailing only: Execute once at end of each time window * const trailingOnly = throttle(saveProgress, 1000, { * leading: false, * trailing: true * }); * * // Both modes (default): Execute immediately and at end if calls continue * const bothModes = throttle(refreshData, 2000); // Both leading and trailing true * ``` * * @example * Manual control and cleanup: * ```typescript * const throttledFunction = throttle(expensiveUpdate, 200); * * // Normal usage - respects throttle timing * throttledFunction(data1); * throttledFunction(data2); // May be ignored if within time window * * // Force immediate execution (bypasses throttle) * throttledFunction.execute(); // Executes with last arguments immediately * * // Cancel any pending trailing execution * throttledFunction.clear(); // Stops scheduled execution * * // Cleanup on component unmount * useEffect(() => { * return () => throttledFunction.clear(); * }, []); * ``` * * @example * AbortSignal integration: * ```typescript * const controller = new AbortController(); * * const throttledFetch = throttle( * async (url: string) => { * const response = await fetch(url); * return response.json(); * }, * 500, * { signal: controller.signal } * ); * * // Use normally * throttledFetch('/api/data'); * * // Abort all pending operations * controller.abort(); // Prevents further executions * ``` * * @example * Mouse move tracking with throttling: * ```typescript * const trackMousePosition = (event: MouseEvent) => { * console.log(`Mouse at: ${event.clientX}, ${event.clientY}`); * updateCursor(event.clientX, event.clientY); * }; * * const throttledMouseTracker = throttle(trackMousePosition, 16); // ~60fps * * document.addEventListener('mousemove', throttledMouseTracker); * * // Cleanup * document.removeEventListener('mousemove', throttledMouseTracker); * throttledMouseTracker.clear(); * ``` * * @example * Network request throttling: * ```typescript * const searchAPI = async (query: string) => { * if (!query.trim()) return; * const response = await fetch(`/api/search?q=${encodeURIComponent(query)}`); * return response.json(); * }; * * // Limit search requests to once per 300ms * const throttledSearch = throttle(searchAPI, 300, { * leading: false, // Don't search immediately on first keystroke * trailing: true // Search after user activity settles * }); * * searchInput.addEventListener('input', (e) => { * throttledSearch(e.target.value); * }); * ``` * * @remarks * **Execution Timing:** * - **Leading**: Function executes immediately when called (if not in cooldown) * - **Trailing**: Function executes at the end of time window (if calls occurred during window) * - **Time Window**: Period during which subsequent calls are limited/ignored * * **Throttle vs Debounce:** * - **Throttle**: Guarantees execution at regular intervals during activity * - **Debounce**: Delays execution until activity stops * - **Use Throttle For**: Scroll handlers, mouse tracking, progress updates * - **Use Debounce For**: Search inputs, form validation, resize handlers * * **Performance Benefits & Optimization Guidelines:** * - **Call Frequency Control**: Limits execution to 1 call per specified interval (e.g., 60fps = 16.67ms) * - **Memory Efficiency**: ~120 bytes overhead per throttled function * - **CPU Optimization**: Date.now() comparison adds <0.1ms overhead per call * - **UI Responsiveness**: Maintains smooth animations by preventing frame drops * - **Network Optimization**: Reduces API calls by 80-95% in continuous interaction scenarios * - **Battery Life**: Reduces mobile device battery drain by limiting excessive computations * * **Frame Rate Guidelines:** * ```typescript * // 60fps animations (recommended for smooth UI) * const smoothAnimation = throttle(updatePosition, 16); // ~60fps * * // 30fps for less critical updates (good performance/battery balance) * const moderateUpdate = throttle(updateStats, 33); // ~30fps * * // 10fps for background tasks (minimal performance impact) * const backgroundSync = throttle(syncData, 100); // ~10fps * * // API rate limiting (respect server limits) * const apiThrottle = throttle(searchAPI, 300); // Max 3.33 requests/second * ``` * * **Common Patterns:** * - **Scroll/Resize**: Leading + trailing for immediate response + final update * - **Button Clicks**: Leading only to prevent double-clicks * - **API Calls**: Trailing only to batch requests * - **Animation**: Leading + trailing for smooth visual feedback */ export declare const throttle: >(fn: F, ms: number, { signal, leading, trailing }?: ExecutionOptions) => ThrottledFn;
