Description

Debounces the collection sidebar search so the collection tree is filtered on a 300ms instead of on every keystroke.

Problem

Each keystroke re-ran doesCollectionHaveItemsMatchingSearchText for every collection, which flattens
that collection's entire item tree on every call, then re-filtered each item row beneath it.
On workspaces with large collections this makes typing in the sidebar search visibly laggy.

Fix

  • Sidebar/Collections/index.js now derives useDebounce(searchText, 300) and passes that to <Collection /> while <CollectionSearch /> keeps receiving the immediate value, so the tree walk runs once per pause rather than per character.
  • An empty query bypasses the debounce, so clearing the box restores the full list instantly instead of after the delay.
  • useDebounce accepts { skipDebounce }; a matching value is returned and committed straight away and
    cancels anything in flight, so nothing stale is left queued behind a clear.
  • added unit tests for useDebounce

Walkthrough

The useDebounce hook now supports immediate updates for selected values. The collections sidebar clears searches immediately and debounces non-empty search input for 300 ms.

Changes

Debounced collection search

Layer / File(s) Summary
Debounce hook behavior
packages/bruno-app/src/hooks/useDebounce/index.js, packages/bruno-app/src/hooks/useDebounce/index.spec.js
useDebounce accepts an optional skipDebounce predicate. Tests cover immediate values, delayed updates, timer resets, and cancellation during retyping.
Collection search integration
packages/bruno-app/src/components/Sidebar/Collections/index.js
The sidebar applies a 300 ms delay to non-empty searches. Empty searches update immediately, and collection rows use the debounced filter text.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 96d47

This change limits sidebar filtering work while preserving immediate search input updates and instant clearing; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Poem

Search text waits its turn,
Empty values clear.
Timers reset with each new input,
The latest value steers the filter.
Tests confirm the debounce path.

In `@packages/bruno-app/src/components/Sidebar/Collections/index.js`:
- Around line 27-28: Update the useDebounce integration in the Collections
sidebar so clearing searchText synchronously resets debouncedSearchText,
preventing a prior settled query from filtering after the user clears and
quickly types a new query. Preserve normal debounced behavior for non-empty
input, and add a regression test covering clear-then-type within
SEARCH_DEBOUNCE_MS.
