THIS COMPONENT HAS BEEN REPLACED BY A NEW APPLICATION. PLEASE USE THIS ONE INSTEAD:

----

A debounce limits the rate at which a function can fire. An example would be querying an API for project names. You have a search field and you query the API every time you input a character into the input field. Although this is not a difficult task it will produce unneeded calls since the user isn't probably done typing in its search key. Therefor we wait a small duration after each character typed before triggering the API call. Every keystroke resets the timer and prevents the API from being called.

Usage:

• Place the web block after the input field in question
• Fill in the widget id of the input field
• (optional) Fill in a wait duration (default is 350ms)
• Create a client action for the RunAction event and define your query logic in this client action

Demo app is available.

Based upon the "Client Side Validation" component.
