Install

Run npm install @cipscis/throttle-with-debounce

Usage

See Throttle with Debounce documentation

Development

You will need to install Node.js before working on this package.

1. Clone the repository using git clone https://github.com/cipscis/throttle-with-debounce.git.
2. Run npm install to install development dependencies.
3. Create a .env file.
4. Run npm start to run the local server and watch CSS and JS files for changes.

This project creates six npm tasks:

• npm run server runs a Node.js server on the port specified in the .env file, using Express.

• npm run build compiles CSS files using gulp-sass, then compiles TypeScript and bundles JavaScript using Webpack.

• npm run watch first runs the build task, then watches the relevant directories and reruns the build task if it sees any changes.

• npm start runs both the server and watch tasks simultaneously.

• npm test lints and compiles any TypeScript, then runs any configured test suites using Jasmine.

• npm run prepare first removes directories containing compiled files, then lints and compiles any TypeScript, then runs any configured test suites using Jasmine. You should never need to run this task manually, the prepare script runs automatically when npm prepares your package for publishing.

Usually, you will just want to run npm start.

.env

The .env file contains the following environment variables:

• PROJECT_NAME (string)

If present, used by Express to set up redirects for emulating GitHub Pages.

• MODE (string 'development' | 'production')

Used by Webpack to determine what optimisations to use and how to generate sourcemaps.

• PORT (int)

Used by Express to determine which port to use when running a local Node.js server.

An example .env file you can use for development is:

PROJECT_NAME = "throttle-with-debounce"
MODE = "development"
PORT = "8080"

This file is intended to differ from environment to environment, so it is ignored by Git.

Dependencies

None.
