text input on change, wait until done typing code example

Example 1: run javascript when typing

<input type="text" oninput="myFunction()">

Example 2: search when user stops typing

// Get the input box
let input = document.getElementById('my-input');

// Init a timeout variable to be used below
let timeout = null;

// Listen for keystroke events
input.addEventListener('keyup', function (e) {
    // Clear the timeout if it has already been set.
    // This will prevent the previous task from executing
    // if it has been less than <MILLISECONDS>
    clearTimeout(timeout);

    // Make a new timeout set to go off in 1000ms (1 second)
    timeout = setTimeout(function () {
        console.log('Input Value:', textInput.value);
    }, 1000);
});
