What RAF polyfill do you use ?

[Ezelia]

Hi all,

 

many browsers now have native support for RequestAnimationFrame (RAF), but we still need polyfills for those browsers witch does not support it.
 

Since there are so many implementations, I'd like to know witch one do you use ?

from my searches this one seems to be the most used : https://gist.github.com/paulirish/1579671

 

but I also found this one : http://www.trajanmcgill.com/stronglytyped/post/2013/03/23/A-More-Robust-requestAnimationFrame-Polyfill

 

have you experimented those or others ?

Hi,

 

I've never seen the second, but the first is one of most used as it was one of the first ever created, It comes from blog post from back in 2011 :

if you want to have a look at the original article.

 

For me it really depends, I tend to use a modified version when I want to have control over the frame rate, and another when I need cancelAnimationFrame.

I like Darius Bacon's version. Mostly because it's small and up to date.
