Function debounce

Creates a debounced version of a function that delays invoking the provided function until after a specified wait time has elapsed since the last time it was invoked.

Returns

A debounced version of the original function that has the following behavior:

• Delays execution until wait milliseconds have passed since the last call
• If immediate is true, executes on the leading edge of the first call
• If maxWait is provided, ensures the function is called at least once every maxWait milliseconds
• Preserves the this context and arguments of the most recent call
• Cancels pending executions when called again within the wait period

Example

// Basic debounce
const debouncedSearch = debounce(searchAPI, 300);

// With immediate execution
const debouncedSave = debounce(saveData, 1000, true);

// With maximum wait time
const debouncedUpdate = debounce(updateUI, 200, false, 1000);
