Introducing a delay on calculation of values associated to Slider

[egonik-unlp]

Is it possible to make sliders somehow pass on the value once the slider stops moving? I have somewhat heavy computations downstream of the slider, and would like to be able to only make them once the slider stops moving.

thanks!

Can you check if the PlutoUI.confirm function is what you need? Take a look here: https://juliapluto.github.io/sample-notebook-previews/PlutoUI.jl.html

It really helps! I see only two problems with that particular implementation:

1. It's in english (the target audience are spanish speaking chemistry students)
2. I use multiple sliders, so it seems a bit cumbersome to have to confirm every change you decide to make (perhaps something along the lines of a single PlutoUI.Button would be better)

Thanks for your answer!

Hey all, happy new year!

1. I think that's a great point, @egonik-unlp, and I think that would be great additional functionality to add. Happy to make this into a PR + add some docs if it looks alright to folks?
2. @pankgeorg and the rest of the Pluto wizards have been hard at work to make this a reality! Here's a quick example from the Live docs for confirm (I just took a few liberties with the mixing and matching of markdown and html + libraries used):

using PlutoUI
using MarkdownLiteral: @mdx

@bind speeds confirm(
    PlutoUI.combine() do Child
        @mdx("""
        ### Wind speeds
        <ul>
        $([
            @mdx("<li>$(name): $(Child(name, Slider(1:100)))")
            for name in ["North", "East", "South", "West"]
        ])
        </ul>
        """)
    end
)

speeds

Let's discuss 1. in a new issue! https://github.com/JuliaPluto/PlutoUI.jl/issues/183

I think the best answer to the original question is a debounce, see #69 , #105 , https://lodash.com/docs/4.17.15#debounce and https://css-tricks.com/debouncing-throttling-explained-examples/ for more info

Let's close this in favour of #69, in addition to the helpful answers above :)

Thank you all very much!
