I keep getting this pouchDB error and I don't know what all this is about.

Answer 1

ENFILE Too many different file openings throughout the system. Please note that any number of linked channels counts as just one file open; See Related Channels. This error never occurs on GNU / Hurd systems.

Using this one promiseDebouncer, I turned up the call putand pressed it.

function promiseDebounce(fn, delay, count) {
  var working = 0, queue = [];
  function work() {
    if ((queue.length === 0) || (working === count)) return;
    working++;
    Promise.delay(delay).tap(function () { working--; }).then(work);
    var next = queue.shift();
    next[2](fn.apply(next[0], next[1]));
  }
  return function debounced() {
    var args = arguments;
    return new Promise(function(resolve){
      queue.push([this, args, resolve]);
      if (working < count) work();
    }.bind(this));
  }
}

let debouncePut = promiseDebounce(db.put, 1000, 100).bind(db)
