requestAnimationFrame polyfill for node and the browser.

Install:

```
npm install @mattdesl/raf --save
```


Use:

```js
var raf = require('raf')

raf(function tick() {
  // Animation logic
  raf(tick)
})
```

**Note:** The stream/event emitter logic found in versions prior to 1.0.0 can be found in [raf-stream](https://www.npmjs.org/package/raf-stream).



# API

[Documentation at Mozilla Developer Network](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/window.requestAnimationFrame), [W3 Specification](http://www.w3.org/TR/animation-timing/#requestAnimationFrame)

```js
var raf = require('raf')
```

## var handle = raf(callback)

`callback` is the function to invoke in the next frame. `handle` is a long integer value that uniquely identifies the entry in the callback list. This is a non-zero value, but you may not make any other assumptions about its value.

## raf.cancel(handle)

`handle` is the entry identifier returned by `raf()`. Removes the queued animation frame callback (other queued callbacks will still be invoked unless cancelled).
