add ability to clear timer

[benjamincarp]

This pull request adds a property to the function returned by debounce which can be called to clear the timer and prevent scheduled future executions. It addresses #9 which I did not write but I did need the same functionality.

Hi,

please add some tests for this feature, so I can merge your PR :).

[benjamincarp]

Done. I added both a basic clear link as well as a link to trigger the event immediately and clear the timer at the same time (trivial but this was the real use case I wanted to add the feature for, so it seemed good to demonstrate).

[vendethiel]

Thanks!

Just came across this debounce package because I don't need the weight of underscore, and this is the exact functionality I've been looking for! However, the .clear command has not yet been published to npm. Any idea when this will be?

Thanks :)

@nathanbuchar I'm afraid I don't have the npm publish rights on this package.

[vendethiel]

@jonathanong hi?

[nathanbuchar]

Any progress on this? :\

[jonathanong]

i don't have access either. seems like you have to ask @TooTallNate

[vendethiel]

You don't? Isn't jongleberry yours?

[vendethiel]

Or do you mean owner access

[jonathanong]

oh crap i was reading it wrong. who am i giving access to?

[nathanbuchar]

We just need this change to be pushed to npm is all :)

[vendethiel]

@jonathanong you can add me&I'll push it.

[vendethiel]

@nathanbuchar btw, if you're using component, it uses github tag (and the 1.0.1 exists)

Any updates on this? I'd love to be able to use the new clear feature on the npm version.

[benjamincarp]

@TooTallNate are there any plans to update the npm package to release 1.0.1 which includes this fix?

[nathanbuchar]

Still waiting for this to be published :\…
