How to debounce and throttle in Vue

In the article, techniques for enhancing the performance of web applications, particularly those built with Vue, through the use of debouncing and throttling are explored. Debouncing helps optimize performance by delaying the execution of a function until a specified time has passed since the last event, which is useful for reducing excessive API calls during user input. Throttling, in contrast, ensures that a function is invoked at regular intervals while an event is ongoing, preventing the function from being called too frequently. Code snippets provided demonstrate how to implement these techniques in Vue applications by debouncing watchers and event handlers. The article emphasizes that these strategies can significantly improve application responsiveness, especially during high-frequency events like typing or resizing, and concludes with recommendations for incorporating them into projects for immediate performance improvements. Additionally, it suggests using tools like LogRocket for debugging and monitoring Vue applications in production.
