jQuery - how to wait for the 'end' of '

Question

So I currently use something like:

$(window).resize(function(){resizedw();});

But this gets called many times while resizing process goes on. Is it possible to catch an event when it ends?

Mark Coleman's answer is certainly far better than the selected answer, but if you want to avoid the global variable for the timeout ID (the doit variable in Mark's answer), you could do one of the following:

(1) Use a an immediately invoked function expression (IIFE) to create a closure.

$(window).resize((function() { // This function is immediately invoked
                               // and returns the closure function.
    var timeoutId;
    return function() {
        clearTimeout(timeoutId);
        timeoutId = setTimeout(function() {
            timeoutId = null; // You could leave this line out.
            // Code to execute on resize goes here.
        }, 100);
    };
})());

(2) Use a property of the event handler function.

$(window).resize(function() {
    var thisFunction = arguments.callee;
    clearTimeout(thisFunction.timeoutId);
    thisFunction.timeoutId = setTimeout(function() {
        thisFunction.timeoutId = null; // You could leave this line out.
        // Code to execute on resize goes here.
    }, 100);
});

this worked for me as I did not want to use any plugins.

$(window).resize(function() {
    var originalWindowSize = 0;
    var currentWidth = 0;

    var setFn = function () {
        originalWindowSize = $(window).width();
    };

    var checkFn = function () {
        setTimeout(function () {
            currentWidth = $(window).width();
            if (currentWidth === originalWindowSize) {
                console.info("same? = yes") 
                // execute code 
            } else {
                console.info("same? = no"); 
                // do nothing 
            }
        }, 500)
    };
    setFn();
    checkFn();
});

On window re-size invoke "setFn" which gets width of window and save as "originalWindowSize". Then invoke "checkFn" which after 500ms (or your preference) gets the current window size, and compares the original to the current, if they are not the same, then the window is still being re-sized. Don't forget to remove console messages in production, and (optional) can make "setFn" self executing.

I don't know is my code work for other but it's really do a great job for me. I got this idea by analyzing Dolan Antenucci code because his version is not work for me and I really hope it'll be helpful to someone.

var tranStatus = false;
$(window).resizeend(200, function(){
    $(".cat-name, .category").removeAttr("style");
    //clearTimeout(homeResize);
    $("*").one("webkitTransitionEnd otransitionend oTransitionEnd msTransitionEnd transitionend",function(event) {
      tranStatus = true;
    });
    processResize();
});

function processResize(){
  homeResize = setInterval(function(){
    if(tranStatus===false){
        console.log("not yet");
        $("*").one("webkitTransitionEnd otransitionend oTransitionEnd msTransitionEnd transitionend",function(event) {
            tranStatus = true;
        }); 
    }else{
        text_height();
        clearInterval(homeResize);
    }
  },200);
}

(function(){
    var special = jQuery.event.special,
        uid1 = 'D' + (+new Date()),
        uid2 = 'D' + (+new Date() + 1);

    special.resizestart = {
        setup: function() {
            var timer,
                handler =  function(evt) {
                    var _self = this,
                        _args = arguments;
                    if (timer) {
                        clearTimeout(timer);
                    } else {
                        evt.type = 'resizestart';
                        jQuery.event.handle.apply(_self, _args);
                    }

                    timer = setTimeout( function(){
                        timer = null;
                    }, special.resizestop.latency);
                };
            jQuery(this).bind('resize', handler).data(uid1, handler);
        },
        teardown: function(){
            jQuery(this).unbind( 'resize', jQuery(this).data(uid1) );
        }
    };

    special.resizestop = {
        latency: 200,
        setup: function() {
            var timer,
                handler = function(evt) {
                    var _self = this,
                        _args = arguments;
                    if (timer) {
                        clearTimeout(timer);
                    }
                    timer = setTimeout( function(){
                        timer = null;
                        evt.type = 'resizestop';
                        jQuery.event.handle.apply(_self, _args);
                    }, special.resizestop.latency);
                };

            jQuery(this).bind('resize', handler).data(uid2, handler);
        },
        teardown: function() {
            jQuery(this).unbind( 'resize', jQuery(this).data(uid2) );
        }
    };
})();

$(window).bind('resizestop',function(){
    //...
});

Answer 5

You can use setTimeout() and clearTimeout()

function resizedw(){
    // Haven't resized in 100ms!
}

var doit;
window.onresize = function(){
  clearTimeout(doit);
  doit = setTimeout(resizedw, 100);
};

Code example on jsfiddle.

Answer 6

This is the code that I write according to @Mark Coleman answer:

$(window).resize(function() {
    clearTimeout(window.resizedFinished);
    window.resizedFinished = setTimeout(function(){
        console.log('Resized finished.');
    }, 250);
});

Thanks Mark!
