Perform debounce in React.js

Question

How do you perform debounce in React.js?

I want to debounce the handleOnChange.

I tried with debounce(this.handleOnChange, 200) but it doesn\'t

Answer 1

Just another variant with recent react and lodash.

class Filter extends Component {
  static propTypes = {
    text: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
    onChange: PropTypes.func.isRequired
  }

  state = {
    initialText: '',
    text: ''
  }

  constructor (props) {
    super(props)

    this.setText = this.setText.bind(this)
    this.onChange = _.fp.debounce(500)(this.onChange.bind(this))
  }

  static getDerivedStateFromProps (nextProps, prevState) {
    const { text } = nextProps

    if (text !== prevState.initialText) {
      return { initialText: text, text }
    }

    return null
  }

  setText (text) {
    this.setState({ text })
    this.onChange(text)
  }

  onChange (text) {
    this.props.onChange(text)
  }

  render () {
    return ( this.setText(event.target.value)} />)
  }
}
