## Examples

```ts
// Throttle slider updates to every 200ms
const mutate = usePacedMutations({
  onMutate: (volume) => {
    settingsCollection.update('volume', draft => { draft.value = volume })
  },
  mutationFn: async ({ transaction }) => {
    await api.updateVolume(transaction.mutations)
  },
  strategy: throttleStrategy({ wait: 200 })
})
```

```ts
// Throttle with leading and trailing execution
const mutate = usePacedMutations({
  onMutate: (data) => {
    collection.update(id, draft => { Object.assign(draft, data) })
  },
  mutationFn: async ({ transaction }) => {
    await api.save(transaction.mutations)
  },
  strategy: throttleStrategy({
    wait: 500,
    leading: true,
    trailing: true
  })
})
```
