How do you perform debounce in React.js?

I want to debounce the handleOnChange.

I tried with debounce(this.handleOnChange, 200) but it doesn't work.

function debounce(fn, delay) {
  var timer = null;
  return function() {
    var context = this,
      args = arguments;
    clearTimeout(timer);
    timer = setTimeout(function() {
      fn.apply(context, args);
    }, delay);
  };
}

var SearchBox = React.createClass({
  render: function() {
    return <input type="search" name="p" onChange={this.handleOnChange} />;
  },

  handleOnChange: function(event) {
    // make ajax call
  }
});
