A calculation is based on user input, and criteria is to use keyup
rather than change
or blur
.
The problem is that the code fires on every keystroke, and I need it to delay and fire only once after a 500ms timeout. My example below obviously doesn't work, fiddle attached.
I found David Walsh's dbounce
function, but cannot figure out how to implement it.
jsFiddle
HTML:
<input type="text" />
<input type="text" id="n2" class="num" value="17" disabled />
<input type="text" id="n3" class="num" value="32" disabled />
javascript/jQuery:
$('input').keyup(function(){
var $this=$(this);
setTimeout(function(){
var n1 = $this.val();
var n2 = $('#n2').val();
var n3 = $('#n3').val();
var calc = n1 * n2 * n3;
alert(calc);
},500);
});
//http://davidwalsh.name/javascript-debounce-function
function debounce(func, wait, immediate) {
var timeout;
return function() {
var context = this, args = arguments;
var later = function() {
timeout = null;
if (!immediate) func.apply(context, args);
};
var callNow = immediate && !timeout;
clearTimeout(timeout);
timeout = setTimeout(later, wait);
if (callNow) func.apply(context, args);
};
};
Using jQuery throttle / debounce, you can pass a delay and function to $. debounce to get a new function, that when called repetitively, executes the original function just once per "bunch" of calls. This can be especially useful for rate limiting execution of handlers on events that will trigger AJAX requests.
jQuery supports 3 types of keyboard events and which we are : keyup(): Event fired when a key is released on the keyboard. keydown(): Event fired when a key is pressed on the keyboard. keypress:() Event fired when a key is pressed on the keyboard.
In this article, we will see how to use keyup with a delay in jQuery. There are two ways to achieve the same: Approach 1: Using the keypress(), fadeIn(), delay() and fadeOut() methods in the jQuery library and clearTimeout() and setTimeout() methods in native JavaScript.
Use it like this:-
$('input').keyup(debounce(function(){
var $this=$(this);
//alert( $this.val() );
var n1 = $this.val();
var n2 = $('#n2').val();
var n3 = $('#n3').val();
var calc = n1 * n2 * n3;
alert(calc);
},500));
