primefaces keyup or other ajax event delay

Question

I have something like:

Answer 1

A quick hack would be adding a delay in onstart of the p:ajax. Define the following function somewhere in your javascript:

function keyupDelay(request, cfg, delay) {
    delay = delay || 2000;// if no delay supplied, two seconds are the default seconds between ajax requests
    setTimeout(function() {
        cfg.onstart = null;
        request.send(cfg)
    }, delay);
    return false;
}

Basically that function triggers the ajax request in a certain timeout while returning false for the immediate one, and emptying the onstart on that timedout request in order not to stuck in a nasty loop.

Then on the p:ajax:

The delay parameter is optional here, by default it's 2 seconds.
