Defined in: async-throttler/createAsyncThrottler.ts:117
A low-level Solid hook that creates an AsyncThrottler instance to limit how often an async function can execute.
This hook is designed to be flexible and state-management agnostic - it simply returns a throttler instance that you can integrate with any state management solution (createSignal, etc).
Async throttling ensures an async function executes at most once within a specified time window, regardless of how many times it is called. This is useful for rate-limiting expensive API calls, database operations, or other async tasks.
Unlike the non-async Throttler, this async version supports returning values from the throttled function, making it ideal for API calls and other async operations where you want the result of the maybeExecute call instead of setting the result on a state variable from within the throttled function.
Error Handling:
The hook uses TanStack Store for reactive state management. The selector parameter allows you to specify which state changes will trigger a re-render, optimizing performance by preventing unnecessary re-renders when irrelevant state changes occur.
By default, there will be no reactive state subscriptions and you must opt-in to state tracking by providing a selector function. This prevents unnecessary re-renders and gives you full control over when your component updates. Only when you provide a selector will the component re-render when the selected state values change.
Available state properties:
• TFn extends AnyAsyncFunction
• TSelected = {}
