const {debounce} = require('extra-function');


var count = 0;
var fn = debounce(() => ++count, 1500);
setTimeout(fn, 0);
setTimeout(fn, 1000);
setTimeout(fn, 2000);
setTimeout(fn, 4000);
setTimeout(fn, 5000);
// `count` incremented after 3.5s
// `count` incremented after 6.5s


var count = 0;
var fn = debounce(() => ++count, 1500);
setTimeout(fn, 0);
setTimeout(fn, 500);
setTimeout(fn, 1000);
setTimeout(fn, 1500);
setTimeout(fn, 2000);
setTimeout(fn, 4000);
setTimeout(fn, 4500);
setTimeout(fn, 5000);
// `count` incremented after 3.5s
// `count` incremented after 6.5s

setTimeout(fn, 1000);
setTimeout(fn, 2000);
