Use apply: timer = setTimeout(() => fn.apply(this, args), delay). this inside the returned function is the caller's this. apply passes it to the original function.
Attach a cancel property to the returned function: debounced.cancel = () => clearTimeout(timer). Call debounced.cancel() to cancel the pending execution.
When true, the function executes on the first call (not waiting for the delay). Subsequent calls within the delay are debounced. Useful for buttons that should respond immediately but prevent double-clicks.
