microThrottle

Added in v1.1.0

The microThrottle operator emits only the first value from a burst of synchronous events,
and ignores the rest until the microtask ends.

✅ Basic usage​

import { event } from "signux";
import { microThrottle } from "signux/operators";

const input = event<string>();
const throttled = input.pipe(microThrottle());

throttled.subscribe((value) => console.log("First:", value));

input("a");
input("b");
input("c");

// Logs: "First: a"

⚙️ How it works​

It emits the first value received, and prevents additional emissions
until the current microtask ends using queueMicrotask().

🧩 Use cases​

  • React immediately to the first trigger in a burst
  • Suppress redundant sync emissions in a single cycle
  • Avoid overprocessing during rapid updates

📦 Signature​

function microThrottle<T>(): OperatorFn<T>;

🧪 Example with state​

const count = state(0);
const throttled = count.pipe(microThrottle());
info

Unlike microDebounce, this emits right away and ignores the rest.
