Re. disabling the trailing execution during throttle: you might want a function to execute every N milliseconds only while you're performing an action. Perhaps it doesn't update a state value, but simple shows a progress bar while the action is taking place. In this case, it would be detrimental to perform that action after completion.
Re. debouncing at the beginning: if you're accepting input and only want to register the first click but not subsequent clicks, this will make an interface feel as responsive as possible while not allowing accidental extra clicks. Common use-cases: Throttle, trailing: updating state (great for event handlers) Throttle, no trailing: showing progress Debounce, end: User input for expensive or asynchronous actions Debounce, begin: User input for synchronous actions I'm sure people can come up with many more examples, these were the first that came to mind. - Ben On Apr 27, 10:19 am, Mislav Marohnić <mislav.maroh...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 16:09, "Cowboy" Ben Alman <cow...@rj3.net> wrote: > > > > > That being said, this throttle (and yours) don't have an option for > > disabling that final "deferred" execution. > > What is the use case for disabling this final call?
