react-cascading-menu/src/hooks/useDebounce.ts

A powerful React cascading dropdown component with multi-selection, search functionality, and hierarchical navigation. Perfect for building category selectors, dependent dropdowns, and nested menu systems with TypeScript support.

import { useState, useEffect } from "react";

function useDebounce<T>(value: T, delay: number): T {
  const [debouncedValue, setDebouncedValue] = useState(value);

  useEffect(() => {
    const handler = setTimeout(() => {
      setDebouncedValue(value);
    }, delay);

    return () => {
      clearTimeout(handler);
    };
  }, [value, delay]);

  return debouncedValue;
}

export default useDebounce;
