onIdle fired immediately on window resize

[Retro-Bo]

I'm using onIdle to refetch map data. It works great! Except when resizing the browser window. As the user drags the window to change size onIdle constantly fires. There is no idle period where it will wait for the resizing to stop.

What is the typical approach used to address this? Manually debounce/timeout the handler? Or is this a bug with idle on the google side of things?

To me this sounds like it could be intended behaviour: the resize-event causes the tile-loader to check for tiles to load, it completes its work (or discovers there is nothing to do) and dispatches the idle event once there is nothing more to do. But you could certainly submit this as a question to the Google Maps Issue Tracker as well: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues?q=status:open%20componentid:188853&s=created_time:desc

I think in your situation I would recommend manually debouncing this or suspending loader logic until after the window resize ends.
