debop

A playful, minimalist debounce utility for JavaScript and Node.js

Why debop?

When your app fires events faster than it can handle, debop steps in to “bop” extra calls away, ensuring your handler only runs once after the flurry subsides.

• Tiny & tree-shakeable ES module
• Zero dependencies
• Works in browsers and Node.js
• Fun & memorable name

Install

npm install debop

Usage

import { debop } from 'debop';

const onResize = debop(() => {
  console.log('Resized!');
}, 200);

window.addEventListener('resize', onResize);

API

debop(fn: Function, delay?: number): Function

• fn — Function to debounce
• delay — Time in ms to wait after last call (default 300)
• Returns — A debounced version of fn

Test

npm test

This runs test.js and should print:

✅ debop test passed: called exactly once
