requestFrameModern
Optimal requestAnimationFrame & cancelAnimationFrame polyfill for modern development.
- Supports ES6, CJS & UMD
- Provides a clean polyfill for requestAnimationFrame & cancelAnimationFrame.
- Tested & working on: IE 9+, FF 25+, Opera 36+, Safari 6.1+, Chrome 30+, iOS 7+, Android 4.4+, Android Chrome 30+.
- Doesn't modify native functions unless specified.
If you need to support legacy browsers see requestFrame for full support from IE5.5+.
Install options
npm i request-frame-modern --save
yarn add request-frame-modern
import requestFrameModern from 'request-frame-modern';
<script src="request-frame-modern.js"></script> // AMD, IIFE
const requestFrameModern = require('request-frame-modern');
The API:
Assign the timing functions:
requestFrameModern( request | cancel | native ) request is default.
var request = requestFrameModern('request');
var cancel = requestFrameModern('cancel');
Or re/ assign native functions:
requestFrameModern('native');
Below is just an example of the requestAnimationFrame API, see links: MDN, MSDN & W3.
Loop something:
var requestId;
function something( useTimeStamp ){
requestId = requestFrameModern(something);
}
requestId = requestFrameModern(something);
Cancel something:
cancel(requestId);
The ideology
request-frame-modern aims to provide an optimal development consistency with the use of animation timing functions across the large number of browsers and devices. This lib is ideal for those who may want to avoid re-assigning native functions, or avoid interfering with other libs that do. requestFrameModern() is purposely not a constructor. The intention is for requestAnimationFrame to be used once or few times during execution since multiple task are expected to be more efficient via a single requestAnimationFrame loop compared to several instances.
