New Coder
I have a form I am using to allow users to add comments to my site. The form has an input field, a textarea field, and a button. When the button is clicked it runs my addComment() function which adds the name, comment, and timestamp to my firestore collection as a new doc.
It seems like after I click the button to add a comment I have to wait a few seconds before I can post another one. If I try to add a new comment too quickly then the request doesn't get sent to my firestore collection, but if I wait a few seconds everything works as expected.
I am curious if this is normal behavior? How can I set it up so users can always post comments without having to wait a few seconds? Can someone explain to me what is happening?
