Quiz 1104: Search Component

You are building a search component for a large e-commerce website. The search input should provide real-time suggestions as the user types.

What steps will you take to optimize performance and reduce excessive API calls?

Quick Answer

Debouncing in this context prevents excessive API calls by delaying the execution of the search function until the user pauses typing for a brief period. This ensures that only the most recent search term is sent to the API, optimizing performance and preventing unnecessary requests.
