debounceEvent

If you have an event definition tied to a Redux action that fires too frequently, you can use this util to limit the frequency of analytics events (e.g. form input).

Import

import debounceEvent from '@redux-beacon/debounce-event';

Syntax

debounceEvent(msDelay, eventDef)

Parameters

• msDelay: number

  • The time in milliseconds that needs to elapse between event definition calls

    before the analytics event is dispatched to a target.

• eventDef: EventDefinition

  • The event you want to debounce.

Example

import debounceEvent from '@redux-beacon/debounce-event';

// A normal event definition
const searchTerm = (action) => ({
  hitType: 'event',
  eventCategory: 'books',
  eventAction: 'search',
  eventLabel: action.payload
});

const eventsMap = {
  // Assume that SEARCH_TERM_ENTERED fires whenever a user types a character into
  // an input field.
  SEARCH_TERM_ENTERED: debounceEvent(1000, searchTerm)
  // The analytics event will only fire after 1s since the last entered character
};

// provide the events map when creating your middleware or meta reducer...
