Overview

Provides the feature for debouncing calls to a given block.

The debouncer can filter events and only allow the events on the leading or trailing edge of the given interval. Its behavior can be customized through settings passed to its constructor.

The following timing diagram illustrates the incoming triggers and the actual executions using various options.

Notes:

  • ‘|` indicates the start of the debounce period

  • With ‘for: 5..5` (a range with begin=end), the `idle_time` argument is irrelevant and be unset/set to any value as it will not alter the debouncer’s behavior.

  • Without an ‘idle_time`, the range end in `for: X..Y` is irrelevant. It is equivalent to `for: X` without the end of the range.

Constructor Details

#initialize(for:, leading: false, idle_time: nil) ⇒ void

Constructor to create a debouncer object.

The constructor sets the options and behaviour of the debouncer when the #call method is called.

Terminology:

  • ‘calls` are invocations of the #call method, i.e. the events that need to be throttled / debounced.

  • ‘executions` are the actual code executions of the given block. Executions usually occur less frequently than the call to the debounce method.

Parameters:

  • for (Duration, Range, nil) —

    The minimum and optional maximum execution interval.

    • Duration: The minimum interval between executions. The debouncer will not execute the given block more often than this.

    • Range: A range of Durations for the minimum to maximum interval between executions. The range end defines the maximum duration from the initial trigger, at which the debouncer will execute the block, even when an ‘idle_time` argument was given and calls continue to occur at an interval less than `idle_time`.

    • ‘nil`: When `nil`, no debouncing is performed, all the other parameters are ignored, and every call will result in immediate execution of the given block.

  • leading (true, false) (defaults to: false) —

    • ‘true`: Perform leading edge “debouncing”. Execute the first call then ignore subsequent calls that occur within the debounce period.

    • ‘false`: Perform trailing edge debouncing. Execute the last call at the end of the debounce period and ignore all the calls leading up to it.

  • idle_time (Duration, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    The minimum idle time between calls to stop debouncing. The debouncer will continue to hold until the interval between two calls is longer than the idle time or until the maximum interval between executions, when specified, is reached.

Instance Attribute Details

#idle_time ⇒ Duration? (readonly)

Returns The minimum idle time to stop debouncing.

Returns:

    The minimum idle time to stop debouncing.

end

#interval ⇒ Range? (readonly)

Returns The range of accepted debounce period, or nil if debouncing is disabled.

Returns:

  • (Range, nil) —

    The range of accepted debounce period, or nil if debouncing is disabled.

Instance Method Details

#call { ... } ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Debounces calls to the given block.

This method is meant to be called repeatedly with the same given block. However, if no block is given, it will call and debounce the previously given block

Examples:

Basic trailing edge debouncing

debouncer = Debouncer.new(for: 1.minute)
(1..100).each do
  debouncer.call { logger.info "I won't log more often than once a minute" }
  sleep 20 # call the debouncer every 20 seconds
end

Call the previous debounced block

debouncer = Debouncer.new(for: 1.minute)
debouncer.call { logger.info "Hello. It is #{Time.now}" } # First call to debounce

after(20.seconds) do |timer|
  debouncer.call # Call the original block above
  timer.reschedule unless timer.cancelled?
end

Yields:

  • Block to be debounced

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)

def call(&block)
  @block = block if block
  raise ArgumentError, "No block has been provided" unless @block

  return call! unless @interval # passthrough mode, no debouncing when @interval is nil

  now = ZonedDateTime.now
  if leading?
    leading_edge_debounce(now)
  else
    trailing_edge_debounce(now)
  end
  @mutex.synchronize { @last_timestamp = now }
end

#call! ⇒ Object

Executes the latest block passed to the OpenHAB::DSL#debounce call regardless of any debounce settings.

Returns:

  • (Object) —

    The return value of the block

def call!
  @block.call
end

#flush ⇒ Boolean

Immediately executes any outstanding event of a trailing edge debounce. The next call will start a new period.

It has no effect on a leading edge debouncer - use #reset instead.

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    True if an existing debounce timer was rescheduled to run immediately. False if there were no outstanding executions.

    end
  end
end

#leading? ⇒ true, false

Returns true to indicate that this is a leading edge debouncer.

Returns:

  • (true, false) —

    True if this object was created to be a leading edge debouncer. False otherwise.

def leading?
  @leading
end

#reset ⇒ Boolean

Resets the debounce period and cancels any outstanding block executions of a trailing edge debouncer.

  • A leading edge debouncer will execute its block on the next call and start a new debounce period.

  • A trailing edge debouncer will reset its debounce timer and the next call will become the start of a new debounce period.

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    True if a pending execution was cancelled.
