Simple JavaScript Debounce Function
// Returns a function, that, as long as it continues to be invoked, will not
// be triggered. The function will be called after it stops being called for
// N milliseconds. If `immediate` is passed, trigger the function on the
// leading edge, instead of the trailing.

clearTimeout(timeout);

timeout = null;

}, wait);
