Firing plugins on specific actions

[gbjackc]

Expected Behavior

A way to have a plugin fire on a specific action e.g done pressed, env loaded, argument change, debounced argument input.

Actual Behavior

A template tag plugin that fires a request will send a request for each character change in an argument which results in rate limit errors/lag/etc. This could be solved majorly with reliable debouncing, but I don't see a way to do this. Another way would be storing arguments and only firing when they don't change. But I can't see a way for an instance of a template tag to know which one it is, so when using in an environment multiple instances overwrite each-other's store.

Reproduction Steps

1. make a template tag that makes a request based on arguments
2. start typing an argument and watch requests start flying in the dev tools

Is there an existing issue for this?

I have realised I can add another argument to the plugin called ~"arguments key" to solve the instance separation issue and make this workable, though I still think the above issues are worth addressing
