How to use Lodash debounce in a React Native app?

To use Lodash debounce in a React Native app, we can call debounce with the function we want to debounce.

For instance, we write:

import * as React from 'react';
import { TextInput, View, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
import { debounce } from 'lodash';

export default function App() {
  const [text, setText] = React.useState();
  const onChangeText = debounce(setText, 500);

  return (
    <View>
      <TextInput onChangeText={onChangeText} />
    </View>
  );
}

to assign onChangeText to a function that debounce returns which delays setText by 500 milliseconds.

And then we set that as the value of the TextInput onChangeText prop.
