Effective Debouncing in Angular: Keep Signals Pure

Angular signals should not be debounced directly because they represent current state values, not streams of events over time. Instead of applying debounce logic to signals themselves, developers should debounce the input source (like DOM events) before updating the signal. The article demonstrates this approach by creating a custom Angular directive that handles debounced input events and updates a signal with the processed value, maintaining the synchronous and predictable nature of signals while achieving the desired debouncing behavior.
