# Debouncing Value Changes

By default, the Kendo UI for Angular Inputs process each update of an input value without delay.

However, changes in the input might trigger complex operations such as network requests. To handle such scenarios, implement a slight delay before the component accepts the new value.

The following example demonstrates how to apply an `afterValueChanged` directive to any component with a `valueChange` event. Under the hood, the implementation uses the [`debounceTime`](http://reactivex.io/rxjs/class/es6/Observable.js~Observable.html#instance-method-debounceTime) RxJS operator.
