[@medamsaisirisha847]

Had faced an interview question almost a year back to limit the network calls to API, now after watching your videos finally got the answer which I have been searching for, thanks to linkedin which brought me here to your channel. Explained it really well sir.

[@MaylynnNg]

This is FANTASTIC. Made it so simple and easy to understand. Been struggling reading articles for hours trying to get it, and you've done it in 20 minutes!! Thank you thank you thank you!!

[@bidishadas832]

A very well-explained video. You know, everyone explains the difference between throttling and debouncing. But writing a new throttle function is just a different level altogether.

[@bonleofen]

Bro, start a patron page. You just nailed it in explaining.

[@javidg4197]

bro, u just nailed it man . Expecting more videos from you. all the best

[@imranshaikh115]

Very good explanation akshay, may god filled you with a lot of knowledge. Thanks a lot for making us understand a complex concepts in an easy way, you made it simple and clear.

[@bonleofen]

I dont usually comment but I'm gonna start doing it! Even if the video is old It help me quite a lot! I will have to rewatch a few times to deeply understand it to apply it to my code, but I understand the main idea. Thank you!

[@02sonali]

This could not be explained in any better way. Superlike !!

[@user-gi5uy5zl4v]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge i learned so much from you no one taught me this even in my company

[@RavindraSingh-zg9eq]

what an explaination bhai amazing superb ,i have seen this code but i was asking myself why they r writing this line of code but u explained very clearly ,mostly i was having doubt with args but u explained veryy nice

[@AdnanAli-cp9hk]

Awesome explanation Sir, thank you so much.

[@Nikhilkumar-yh7yc]

Akshay Saini - A Tutor for the people , who think they never be a good developer.. Last Year i started a journey for frontend deveolper. I got confusions in , Callback, this, call bind and apply, clousers , curring , scopes .. literally i was struggling . I came to your old series Core fundamental of JS. nd I was like what this guy wanted to tell . I didnt like you .. then after sometime i found your namaste JS nd i am confident in this all topics that i mentioned ... Now I m growing stronger day by day .. I m watching your old series nd i m getting it very clearly ..

[@nitishgupta8393]

I have just watched a genius, you are gem man

[@jeckyanand717]

Ashay... Great explanation with easy steps. Love to learn from you

[@rohitkudalkar92]

feel very to found your channel. Love and support bhai.

[@159binny]

These days interviewers are using the examples even given by you. One person asked me how do you limit Clicks in a game and the same story you described. What a revolution you have brought.

[@aparupabanerjee9373]

You explain really well! Could you please make a separate video on Closure? Thank you so much for all the help! :) Good luck!

[@ranjanprabhu789]

Nice one. This will surely help a lot of people to understand js core better. Keep sharing more such videos. Thank you.

[@kashifalikhan4420]

Awesome Explanation, Loved the way you explain the things

[@EpicKeyz]

Greeeeeat explanation! I thought on how can I make "onresize" function calls more lightweight, that's where throttling comes. Thanks a lot for this video!

[@pradeeplakshminarasimha8332]

Your explanation is really good bro. Keep making more such videos.

[@rahulpurohit2461]

You're the best man!

[@sachin__ak]

debounce executes on the last event fired(batch req) and throttle executes at starting(control flow)

[@manishapuri8419]

your videos are really very detailed and easy to understand .. :) keep it up

[@santoshkadam8431]

I'm regretting, why I couldn't find this channel before year or more.

[@kikish_sabina]

Very clear explanation 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 thank you!

[@PeaceUrSoul]

Thanks Bro for sharing your knowledge, keep make more videos by selecting the topic and explain with example. Also please tell what challenges you face in coding on Uber projects. Thanks

[@jagrutitiwari2551]

Your JavaScript videos have always helped me. Could you make a video on interview questions for Full Stack JavaScript Developer.

[@nikitabanthiya5846]

Hey Akshay , Nicely done !! explained it properly .I'm liking your channel , can you answer more what they asked in Wallmart other than this ?

[@0mb430]

onChange event of input control is great example for throttling

[@Nikhilkumar-yh7yc]

In debouncing one , i was little confused but because of this one that video also got cleared .. the part i love in this video , You told us how to write it step by step .. A Infinite thanks.. Please cover many important topics in your Namaste JS series .. You are like a GOD for me in Frontend journey .. I know you are very busy .. but 1 lakh people is waiting for your next videos .. Please do .. A respect for U .. Akshay Sir -- A great tutor..

[@danielbentum136]

same to me Bro

[@rohangaonkar8912]

Awesone video. just like to add that there may be cases where we would want to catch the last occurence of event. so with this we might miss last event so. we need one more closure var to account for that

[@alpacino3989]

Amazing concept!

[@mohit0001ish]

I really like your explanation!! Thumbs up, keep it up. :)

[@aravindtec]

Akshay very good Thanks !!!

[@ashishnamdeo3620]

Really Bro. your video is awesome...... plz make another video like javascript DS & more on Js...

[@ashimasingla5177]

Awesome Video!! Can you please explain other method also for thrashing using setTimeout because way you explain makes things really easy. Also can you please make a video on Walmart Interview Experience for UI developers.

[@srikanthkolisetty5921]

Thank you akshay

[@banajittalukdar8236]

Well explained sir, expecting more videos

[@soumyaranjanhota9338]

Awesome Video ...

[@nitishkalra1995]

what happens if the setTimeout callback function (which sets flag to true) keeps waiting in the callback queue for its turn to come and meanwhile the time limit is completed. Referring to the Trust Issues with setTimeout video. Function which sets flag to true waits in the queue more than the limit time. What would we do in that case ?

[@Hdsatija]

Great Explanations

[@akshaymarch7]

It will be coming up in Namaste JavaScript Series. Actually teaching Closures requires a little background knowledge for the audience. We'll move there definitely, but slowly. And trust me, I'm very desperate about covering that topic. I just love Closures. ❤️

[@Hdsatija]

@@akshaymarch7 Thanks

Great content.

[@FunOfHeuristic]

nice one bro, one small suggestion, please add cards or give the link of related video in the description.

[@prikshit8]

Amazing 🤩

[@yeswanthh5068]

I really miss the old akhsay😥😓

[@JavaScriptWithSohail]

Awesome video! But I think there is no need to store the context and arguments in variables, it makes sense in the debounce but here we are not calling the function in setTimeout so we can directly use "this" and "arguments".

[@mattwaala]

yeah make sense :)

[@jaishrikrishna5755]

can you explain why we use this and arguments when we call Settimeout

[@Adam-nw1vy]

​@@jaishrikrishna5755 We use this to prevent losing the this context. The function throttle is meant to be reusable and able to take in any callback function, i.e. fn, which means that the callback can be something that looks like objectName.callback. So if we invoke throttle like this: throttle(objectName.callback, limit), then the this context will refer to objectName, which can cause many issues. To prevent that, we need to bind the "this" context to the inner function returned by throttle. For the arguments, we need to use them to pass along any arguments taken by the callback function.

[@amitk0277]

Pls make tuts on web app optimization and interview questions

[@remysilvio]

Great video! You rock! I'm subscribed too!

[@Pepcoding]

throttle function mei se let flag = true ko bahar nikale bina throttle nahi karega. har returned function ne alag flag pe closure bna lia hai. sab returned functions ko same flag pe closure bnana hoga isko sahi chalne ke liye.

[@navneetkumarsharma9092]

We can use arrow function syntax, an alternative to apply

[@adityakalyani6668]

Do you know why we use apply here...??No I will not tell you here...... Dude tooo good, you yourself are laughing at that... I paused and laughed for a while thinking about those who haven't watched the earlier videos.!! Amazing videos and good humour

[@satheshkumar5906]

thank you

[@TheVR7]

great video, i believe youtube live chats timeouts works on this principle, just guessing

[@gunasekart.j3552]

your explanation is good, I get more positive vibes after seeing your videos, keep doing your good work. I am currently a full stack developer who has a basic knowledge is javascript.....................I have a doubt in this video when user click the button continuously whether the throttle function is called multiple time or not ....or only the return function inside the throttle function is called....can u please explain if you have time..thanks in advance

[@jsagar95]

Thanks!

[@devtest1814]

Thanks !!! keep it up bro !!! :)

[@official_roboGOD]

Great video! One edge case that bothers me is that the last call made will not execute. Let's say I'm resizing a window then I would want the method to be called at the exact position where I stop.

[@jaishrikrishna5755]

can you explain why we use this and arguments when we call Settimeout .What are the things handled with these .confused a bit .Thanks

[@vishwajeetgade1325]

can you explain how you closure variable is working because throttle function is getting called multiple time on resize and then flag will be true on each throttle then expensive function will be called on each flag true what was the purpose of setTimeout it only set flag to true which is already true on each throttle function call

[@susmitobhattacharyya1668]

What a content. But have a doubt that don't we need to clear the timeouts like we did in the debouncing?

[@lokeshlokesh-fx8le]

In throttling, This flag method is easily understandable when compared to cleartimeout(timer) method.

[@shanusaini945]

Great Video... 15:20 for anyone who want to see the code.

[@_irrfan13_]

will throw a referenceError - can not access before initialization. thank you akshay !

[@vijaydwivedi823]

How "arguments" is accessing the arguments passed to the expensive function ? I tried to console log it but unable to get the concept here

[@prateekchitransh1585]

Awesome content. I am confused why didn't we use setInterval here.

[@learnwithStroDev]

Can we use throttling not on the timing basis, instead to call api after certain letters? And instead of debouncing can we use this ?

[@mayankkumar6091]

Debounce, Throttling and their difference, you have explained it excellently. Now we don't need to go anywhere else to study and understand them :). It is now all set in our mind. What I noticed is we need to include an extra return statement if flag is not true.. something like following If(!flag) return; Otherwise it will not throttle as intended because multiple setTimeout are going to be registered and they would mess up flag value. function throttleOne(fn, ms) { let flag = true; function wrapper(){ if(!flag) return; if(flag){ fn.apply(this, arguments); flag = false; } setTimeout(function(){ flag = true; }, ms); } return wrapper; } let betterthrottleOne = throttleOne(expensive, 3000);

[@DeepakGupta-zz1vf]

Instead do this if(flag === true) { fn(); flag = false; setTimeout(function () { flag = true; },limit); } This will not register more than once

[@panky905]

Do you think this is a correct alternative way ? let _throttle = (func,time) => { let startTime = new Date(); return function(...args){ let currTime = new Date(); if(currTime - startTime > time){ func.apply(this,args); startTime = currTime; } } }

[@pradeexsu]

this is nice one, thanks, akshay what if we are hitting simultaneously sufficient number of request, does we need a lock mechanism, or is flag enough?

[@santoshbiradar4650]

We can use sttimeInterval instead of SetTimeOut and flag right ?

[@MS-nh7zj]

i request you for deep explanation for this keyword , lexical scope , difference between binding function inside constructor and arrow function binding in React.js .

[@nehabhargava]

You made it so easy, a very nice explanation! Can you please also cover a video about Event emitters from scratch.

[@akshaymarch7]

Noted it down, Neha. Will try to cover that in future videos. Thank you for your input. ❤️

[@nileshkokare2121]

Understood!

[@vitalvisions4U]

Got it.

[@kunjiofsuccess]

On what context people say that network calls are expensive. Please tell me. cost wise, performance wise or anything else?

[@deepaligarg2978]

What is stopping the function from getting called again and again after the limit? Shouldn't we clear the setTimeout?

[@utkarshtripathi2349]

Very well explained, Thanx for publishing that much informative content.

[@akshaymarch7]

Glad it was helpful!

[@adityaagarwal2324]

​​@@akshaymarch7I have some doubts, if we keep resizing the better experience func will be called again and again and the flag value will always be true. So how will it wait till limit?

[@sumanthchevula1601]

@@adityaagarwal2324 same doubt, did u get any answer for this?

[@adityaagarwal2324]

@@sumanthchevula1601 yes, same function will not be called because the flag var reference to the same location
