Debounce function using Ramda.js

ramdaDebounce.js

import { curry, apply } from 'ramda';

/**
 * Debounce
 *
 * @param {Boolean} immediate If true run `fn` at the start of the timeout
 * @param  timeMs {Number} Debounce timeout
 * @param  fn {Function} Function to debounce
 *
 * @return {Number} timeout
 * @example
 *
 *		const say = (x) => console.log(x)
 *		const debouncedSay = debounce_(false, 1000, say)();
 *
 *		debouncedSay("1")
 *		debouncedSay("2")
 *		debouncedSay("3")
 *

const debounce_ = curry((immediate, timeMs, fn) => () => {
	let timeout;

	return (...args) => {
		const later = () => {
			timeout = null;

			if (!immediate) {
				apply(fn, args);
			}
		};

		const callNow = immediate && !timeout;

		clearTimeout(timeout);
		timeout = setTimeout(later, timeMs);

export const debounceImmediate = debounce_(true);

export const debounce = debounce_(false);

Hi, your solution is very interesting, but at line 26: why don't you use clearTimeout instead of setting timeout= null ?
Looking forward to your response.
Have nice day ! Thanks!

Hi @tommmyy

I would like to know why you chose to return a function that returns a function instead of just returning a function on line 23

  const debounce_ = curry((immediate, timeMs, fn) => () => {
    let timeout;

    return (...args) => { ... };
  });

By the way, thanks for this useful gist!
