In today's lesson, we are going to see how to use debounce in search in React js.
Debounce is like waiting until a user stops typing to fetch search results.
Install the package
First of all, we need to install the package useDebounce.
npm i use-debounce
Implement debounce in search
Next, let's assume that we have a search component that fetches tasks from API when the user starts typing, and we want to delay getting search results for a few milliseconds.
So here we use useDebounce like the code below:
import axios from 'axios';
import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
import { useDebounce } from 'use-debounce';
export default function Tasks() {
const [tasks, setTasks] = useState([]);
const [searchTerm , setSearchTerm] = useState('');
const debouncedSearchTerm = useDebounce(searchTerm, 300);
useEffect(() => {
fetchTasks();
}, [debouncedSearchTerm[0]])
const fetchTasks = async () => {
try {
if(debouncedSearchTerm[0] !== ''){
const response = await axios.get(`api/search/${searchTerm}/tasks`);
setTasks(response.data);
}
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
}
return (
<div className="row my-5">
<div className="col-md-12 card">
<div className="row my-3">
<div className="col-md-4">
<div className="form-group">
<input type="text"
value={searchTerm}
onChange={(e) => setSearchTerm(e.target.value)}
placeholder="Search..."
className="form-control rounded-0 border border-dark" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div className="card-body">
<table className="table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>Title</th>
<th>Body</th>
<th>Category</th>
<th>Created</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
{
tasks?.map(task => (
<tr key={task.id}>
<td>{task.id}</td>
<td>{task.title}</td>
<td>{task.body}</td>
<td>{task.category.name}</td>
<td>{task.created_at}</td>
</tr>
))
}
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</div>
</div>
)
}
