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

Here's a snippet using @Abra's approach wrapped in a function component (we use fabric for the UI, just replace it with a simple button)

import React, { useCallback } from "react";
import { debounce } from "lodash";

import { PrimaryButton, DefaultButton } from 'office-ui-fabric-react/lib/Button';

const debounceTimeInMS = 2000;

export const PrimaryButtonDebounced = (props) => {

    const debouncedOnClick = debounce(props.onClick, debounceTimeInMS, { leading: true });

    const clickHandlerDebounced = useCallback((e, value) => {

        debouncedOnClick(e, value);

    },[]);

    const onClick = (e, value) => {

        clickHandlerDebounced(e, value);
    };

    return (
        
    );
}
