What is the difference between debounceTime and debounce

Question

Can you tell me what the difference is between debounceTime and debounce?

Answer 1

Aspect	debounceTime	debounce
Definition	A predefined time-based debounce operator.	A custom debounce operator where the debounce duration is determined dynamically by a function.
Usage	Emits a value only after a specified time period has passed without new emissions.	Emits a value only after a duration determined by a function has passed without new emissions.
Parameter	Takes a number (time in milliseconds) as input.	Takes a function that returns an Observable to determine the debounce duration.
Flexibility	Less flexible, as the debounce duration is fixed.	More flexible, as the debounce duration can vary dynamically based on logic.
Example Use Case	Debouncing user input in a search bar (e.g., wait 300ms after typing stops).	Debouncing based on dynamic conditions (e.g., wait for a specific API response or event).
