Debounce a function call with a fail safe to avoid "kicking down the road"

debounce.js

export default (min_delay, max_delay = Infinity) => handler => {
  let min_timeout
  let max_timeout
  let security_started

  const execute = () => {
    clearTimeout(max_timeout)
    handler()
    security_started = false
  }

  return () => {
    if (!security_started && max_delay !== Infinity) {
      security_started = true
      clearTimeout(max_timeout)
      max_timeout = setTimeout(() => execute(), max_delay)
    }

    clearTimeout(min_timeout)
    min_timeout = setTimeout(execute, min_delay)
  }
}

package.json

{
  "name": "debounce",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "type": "module",
  "main": "debounce.js"
}

Will execute after 100ms when calls stops

import debounce from 'debounce'
const debounce_100 = debounce(100)
const debounce_me = debounce_100(() => { console.log('debounced') })

debounce_me()
debounce_me()

Will execute at least once after 1s

import debounce from 'debounce'
const debounce_100_max_1000 = debounce(100, 1000)
const debounce_me = debounce_100_max_1000(() => { console.log('debounced') })

debounce_me()
debounce_me()
