Using debounce function in underscore

Question

I use underscore.js to run task.

_.debounce(task, 100)

How stop executing _.debounce?

Answer 1

_.debounce does not execute anything, so you cannot stop it. It returns a new function which takes care of the debouncing.

If you don't want to use it anymore, just use the original function.

Have a look at the documentation for more information.

Answer 2

I assume you want to slow down an expensive task, i've written a post here to explain the _.debounce() method behaviour.
