Calling the API on every keystroke in a search field floods it with requests. Can you implement a debounce with GCD yourself, so the call only fires when there's been no further input for 300ms after the last keystroke?
Keep a DispatchWorkItem in a property, cancel() the previous item on every keystroke, then schedule a new one with asyncAfter. cancel only stops items that haven't started yet. In Swift Concurrency, keep and cancel a Task that runs after Task.sleep(300ms).
