Available helpers

onRenderFrame

onRenderFrame wraps requestAnimationFrame() and takes a callback as first argument, calling it continuously whenever the browser has to render another frame, stopping only when the user is browsing away from your controller.

angular.module('myapp').controller('MyController', function ($scope, raf) {
    raf.onRenderFrame($scope, function() {
        // Perform jQuery-style DOM manipulation or update Scope variables here.
    });
});
