Debounce and Throttle Callbacks with React Hooks

This technical article addresses a common React Hooks problem: creating debounced or throttled callbacks that comply with the react-hooks/exhaustive-deps ESLint rule. It demonstrates why using useCallback with lodash's debounce fails and provides a solution using useMemo to memoize the debounced function, ensuring dependencies are correctly tracked. The guide includes code examples for a search component and notes the technique works with throttle or any higher-order function.
