How do I use throttle with .hover(); jQuery?-CodePudding

I'm trying to find the most concise way to throttle a hover function with jQuery. There are many examples of this but they all seem to not work as intended. For example the use of $.throttle doesn't error but it stops the animation from working altogether. This is the code which I'm trying to throttle:

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
  var $navTab = $('.nav-tab-parent');

  function moveNavTab(e) {
      TweenLite.to($navTab, 0.3, {
      css: {
        left: e.pageX,
        top: e.pageY
      }
    });
  }

  $(window).on('mousemove', moveNavTab);

  $(".toggle-bars").hover( // this is the .hover() function I need to throttle.
    function() {
      $(".nav-tab-parent").animate({
        opacity: 1
      });
      $(".nav-tab-parent").delay(10).animate({
        width: "36px",
        easing: "swing"
      });
      $(".nav-tab").html("MENU");
      $(".nav-tab").delay(350).animate({
        opacity: 1
      });
    }, function() {
      $(".nav-tab").animate({
        opacity: 0
      });
      $(".nav-tab-parent").delay(150).animate({
        width: "0",
        opacity: 0,
        easing: "swing"
      });
    }
  );
});

I must be missing something here but can't figure it out. Any help in achieving this would be greatly appreciated!

I suppose you are trying to achieve something like this. You could try to use .stop() method - it will stop current animation and after that you can run next one. Try to play with arguments to choose what best will suit your case.

let $hover = $('.hover-box'),
  $target = $('.animated-box');

function show() {
  $target.stop(true, true).animate({
    opacity: 1,
  })
}

function hide() {
  $target.stop(true, true).animate({
    opacity: 0
  })
}

$hover.hover(show, hide)

.hover-box,
.animated-box {
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  border-radius: 8px;
}

.hover-box {
  border: 1px solid #ddd;
  display: inline-flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  font-family: sans-serif;
  cursor: pointer;
  margin-bottom: 16px;
}

.hover-box:hover {
  background: #ddd;
}

.animated-box {
  opacity: 0;
  background: gold;
}

Changed to use entirely GSAP and relying on .timescale() see the documentation — didn't know the underlying structure so will need some configuring but the basis is there. GSAP has a crazy deep documentation but should be familiar enough to jquery with object animations.

var tl = gsap.timeline().timeScale(-1);
tl.fromTo(".nav-tab-parent", {
  autoAlpha: 0,
  duration: 1
}, {
  autoAlpha: 1,
  duration: 1
});
$(".toggle-bars").hover(function() {
  tl.timeScale(1);
}, function() {
  tl.timeScale(-1);
});
