Idley

Helper functions for implementing the idle-until-urgent pattern. For detailed explanation of this pattern, see this article from Philip Walton.

Installation

// with yarn yarn add idley // with npm npm install idley

Usage

import { computed , throttled , debounced } from ' idley '

Functions

Computed

computed(fn: function): function

Creates a function that returns the result of executing the passed fn when the browser is idle. If the result is requested and it has not been computed yet, the function will be executed immediately.

import { computed } from ' idley ' console . log ( foo ( ) )

Throttled

throttled(fn: function): function

Creates a throttled function that only invokes the passed fn at most once when the browser is idle.

import { throttled } from ' idley ' foo ( 1 ) foo ( 2 )

Debounced

debounced(fn: function): function

Creates a debounced function that delays invoking the passed fn until the browser is idle.

import { debounced } from ' idley ' foo ( 1 ) foo ( 2 )

This library relies on requestIdleCallback. It will degrade to requestAnimationFrame, or setTimeout in this order
