npm install raf-iterator

Usage

const rafIterator = require('raf-iterator')

for await (const tick of rafIterator()) {
  draw(tick)
  if (ended) {
    break
  }
}

API

rafIterator()

Returns an Async Iterator that can be used in a for await loop. Each iteration yields an incrementing tick integer. Iterations occur at the speed of requestAnimationFrame ticks, about 60fps.

breaking from the loop prevents further animation frame requests.
