React debouncing pattern for API calls

Classic debounce function:

const debounce = (fn, delay) => {
      let timer = null;
      return function (...args) {
          const context = this;
          timer && clearTimeout(timer);

timer = setTimeout(() => {

	// Construct a table with table[i] as the length of the longest prefix of the substring 0..i
	function longestPrefix(str) {

	// create a table of size equal to the length of `str`
	// table[i] will store the prefix of the longest prefix of the substring str[0..i]
	var table = new Array(str.length);
	var maxPrefix = 0;
	// the longest prefix of the substring str[0] has length
	table[0] = 0;
