JS: wait final event

finalevent.js

// Here's a modification of CMS's solution that can be called in multiple places in your code:

// Wait for final event example during resize 
// 
var waitForFinalEvent = (function () {
  var timers = {};
  return function (callback, ms, uniqueId) {
    if (!uniqueId) {
      uniqueId = "Don't call this twice without a uniqueId";
    }
    if (timers[uniqueId]) {
      clearTimeout (timers[uniqueId]);
    }
    timers[uniqueId] = setTimeout(callback, ms);
  };
})();



// Usage:
$(window).resize(function () {
    waitForFinalEvent(function(){
      alert('Resize...');
      //...
    }, 500, "some unique string");
});
