Throttle Function

By FrontendAtlas Editorial · Updated Jul 15, 2026

Challenge summary

Implement a leading-only JavaScript throttle that limits a high-frequency callback to one execution per interval. The challenge makes the timing contract explicit so ignored calls and interval boundaries are predictable.

What you'll practice

  • Execute the first call in each interval immediately.
  • Ignore additional calls while the current interval remains active.
  • Preserve the original arguments and calling context.
  • Allow a new call once the interval boundary has passed.
