How can we implement debouncing in Livewire and CKEditor to prevent requests from being generated on every keystroke?

Debouncing is the process of delaying the execution of a function until a certain amount of time has passed without any further action. In Livewire and CKEditor, this can be achieved by using a combination of Javascript and Livewire methods.

Here's how to implement debouncing in Livewire and CKEditor:

1. First, add a throttle method to the component. This method will be used to delay the execution of the search function.

public function updatedQuery()
{
    $this->debounce('search');
}

public function search()
{
    // Your search logic here
}

1. Next, add a debounce method to the component. This method will be used to call the throttle method after a certain amount of time has passed without any further action.

protected function debounce($method)
{
    $this->dispatchBrowserEvent('debounce:' . $method);
}

1. In the blade file, add a debounce event listener to the CKEditor input. This event will be triggered whenever the user types something into the CKEditor input.

<div wire:ignore>
    <textarea id="editor" name="editor" wire:model.defer="content" 
              @keydown.enter.prevent 
              @keydown.escape.window="$dispatch('cancel')" 
              @keydown.window="$emit('trix-blur')" 
              @trix-change.debounce.500ms="$dispatch('trix-change')">
    </textarea>
</div>

1. Finally, add a debounce event listener to the Livewire component. This event will be triggered whenever the debounce event is fired.

<script>
    document.addEventListener('livewire:load', function() {
        Livewire.hook('element.updated', (el, component) => {
            if (el.tagName.toLowerCase() === 'div' && el.getAttribute('wire:id') === component.id) {
                const editor = el.querySelector('#editor');

                if (editor) {
                    editor.addEventListener('debounce:trix-change', () => {
                        component.call('search');
                    });
                }
            }
        });
    });
</script>

With these four steps, you can implement debouncing in Livewire and CKEditor and prevent excessive requests from being generated on every keystroke.
