setAnimationInterval()

Repeatedly call a function without setInterval, call a function by approximate frames per second

  • npm i --save set-animation-interval = A better performing setInterval with frames per second
    also...
  • npm i --save set-animation-frame = A better performing setTimeout
// Heads up!
// Animation timing functions work in enviroments that either render or 
// simulate the rendering of frames. (Unlike nodejs & dev tools)

Usage:

var requestID = setAnimationInterval(<Callback>, <delay>, <useFPS>);
  • Callback : The function to be executed between each delay.

  • delay : The delay in milliseconds or frames per second if useFPS is truthy.

  • useFPS : If true, the delay value is interpreted by FPS. It is false by defualt.

  • setAnimationInterval returns the requestID for cancellation via cancelRequestAnimationFrame() (polyfill).
  • setAnimationInterval passes the given function the DOMHighResTimeStamp as a parameter.
