## What it is
A small JavaScript utility library providing throttle and debounce functions, ported from jquery-throttle-debounce to ES Modules and CommonJS. It supports options like leading/trailing execution, at-begin mode, and cancellation of pending calls.

## Use cases
- rate-limit scroll or resize event handlers
- debounce search input before firing API requests
- throttle window resize callbacks
- cancel a pending debounced call
- limit how often a button handler fires

## When to choose
- you need a tiny, dependency-free throttle/debounce utility
- you want ES Modules and CommonJS support
- you need cancel support including upcoming-only cancellation

## When to avoid
- your framework already bundles throttle/debounce (e.g. lodash)
- you need advanced scheduling like trailing-edge promises or async throttling

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: middleware
- domain: web-development, frontend, developer-tools
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: throttle, debounce, rate-limiting, es-modules, javascript, npm-package, event-handling, nodejs
