Debouncing redux thunk actions.
// A common redux pattern when dealing with async functions is to use thunk.
// This usually means your action returns a new function instead of an action object,
// and the thunk middleware will make it all work. Example:
const asyncAction = () => dispatch => setTimeout(() => dispatch(someOtherAction()), 10000);
// Now: maybe that async stuff going on is calling some API which you don't want to overload
// with request, and that's what debounce is for.
// This is an example of a debounced function which will only be calleable once every second.
import { debounce } from 'lodash';
const debouncedFn = debounce(() => callApi(), 1000, { leading: true, trailing: false });

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.
