The `metal-throttle` package provides a utility function to limit the rate at which a function can be called. This is essential for optimizing performance in web applications by preventing excessive execution of handlers for frequent events like scrolling, resizing, or rapid clicks. It ensures a function executes at most once within a specified time window, discarding subsequent calls until the timeout expires. As part of the broader Metal.js ecosystem, it aims to offer a reliable and efficient throttling mechanism. Currently at version `3.0.1`, it is a stable utility. Without more specific release information, its cadence is generally aligned with the Metal.js project. Key differentiators typically revolve around its integration within the Metal.js framework, potentially offering optimizations or API consistency tailored for that environment, though basic throttling logic is common across many libraries.
npm install metal-throttleVerified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.
Demonstrates how to import and use the `throttle` function with both scroll and click events to limit their execution rate over time.
Consult the `metal-throttle` v3 migration guide or changelog. Update function signatures and usage patterns according to the new API specification.
Use an arrow function (if defining the throttled function inline) or explicitly `bind` the function: `throttle(myMethod.bind(this), delay)`.
Always use the same throttled function reference for both `addEventListener` and `removeEventListener`: `const throttledFn = throttle(myFn, delay); element.addEventListener('event', throttledFn); element.removeEventListener('event', throttledFn);`For ESM, use `import { throttle } from 'metal-throttle';`. For CommonJS, use `const { throttle } = require('metal-throttle');`.Add the correct import statement at the top of your file: `import { throttle } from 'metal-throttle';` or `const { throttle } = require('metal-throttle');`.No dependency data recorded yet.
