settimeout example to prevent item from happening 1000 times

timeout.js

var timer;

function load_and_resize() {
    if($('.diagram-details').length > 0) {
        $('.diagram-details .col-md-3').matchHeight({
            property: 'min-height'
        });
    }


    if($('.modal-active').length > 0) {
        $modal_content = $('.modal-active').find('.modal-content');
        adjust_modal_sizing_and_positioning($('.modal-active'), $modal_content);
        $modal_content.css('visibility', 'visible');
        $('.modal-active').fadeIn();
    }
    // for about us modal in the future
    // if($('#take-over').length > 0) {
    //     $modal_container = $('#take-over');
    //     $modal_content = $modal_container.find('.flex-wrap');
    //     adjust_modal_sizing_and_positioning($modal_container, $modal_content);
    //     $modal_content.css('visibility', 'visible');
    //     $modal_container.fadeIn();
    // }

    // this is preventing the resetting of the sliders to happen 1000 times while the screen is resizing.
    // after .6 seconds of load or resize being complete then we fire our activate_slider function
    clearTimeout(timer);
    timer = setTimeout(function() {
        activate_slider();
        var diagram_slider_exists = $('.diagram-example.multiple').length;

            // debugger;
            activate_uml_slider();
        }

    }, 600);
