(function() {
    var lastTime = 0;
    var vendors = ['ms', 'moz', 'webkit', 'o'];
    for(var x = 0; x < vendors.length && !window.requestAnimationFrame; ++x) {
        window.requestAnimationFrame = window[vendors[x]+'RequestAnimationFrame'];
        window.cancelAnimationFrame = window[vendors[x]+'CancelAnimationFrame'] 
                                   || window[vendors[x]+'CancelRequestAnimationFrame'];
    }
 
    if (!window.requestAnimationFrame)
        window.requestAnimationFrame = function(callback, element) {
            var currTime = new Date().getTime();
            var timeToCall = Math.max(0, 16 - (currTime - lastTime));
            var id = window.setTimeout(function() { callback(currTime + timeToCall); }, 
              timeToCall);
            lastTime = currTime + timeToCall;
            return id;
        };
 
    if (!window.cancelAnimationFrame)
        window.cancelAnimationFrame = function(id) {
            clearTimeout(id);
        };
}());

In most situations I use miniraf ✨

Maybe I'm still missing something but for me the polyfill is not working right now and I am triong to figure out what is missing

Uncaught SyntaxError: Missing initializer in const declaration

Hai , i am new to angular2. i have a conflict in loading the angular2 webapp in safari browser. Actually where to use this code in the code so that i can get rid of this browser problem. is this also the solution for improper loading of c3 charts in certain browsers like safari and microsoft edge. please help me out and thanks in advance.

Hi Vennapusaravali,

More suitable for the Angular 4 repo, however if you checkout this JS file and add the script to angular-cli.jsons "scripts": [ ".../path/to/this/file/rAF.js" ] it should load correctly. More info can be found here.

Hello, can someone help me with a question in my website? I don't know where is the issue list, or who I can ask. My website is not working the parallax.js (http://memphisnet.com.br/3.0/)

Thanks advice

Hi guys,

Anyone know the answer to this question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52508261/do-we-need-to-clear-a-timeout-when-using-requestanimationframe-polyfill ? Would like to hear a professional opinion.

Thanks

I've been reading a lot of the comments but I am kinda bit confused now which code to be implemented.

Hello,

I just adapted Paul Irish's polyfill to work with high resolution timing automatically (when possible) and improved the performance a little bit.

It can work with the following window.performance.now polyfill: https://gist.github.com/jalbam/cc805ac3cfe14004ecdf323159ecf40e

Here it is:

	for (var x = 0; x < vendors.length && !window.requestAnimationFrame && !window.cancelAnimationFrame; x++)
	{
		vp = vendors[x];
		window.requestAnimationFrame = window.requestAnimationFrame || window[vp + 'RequestAnimationFrame'];

			var nextTime = Math.max(lastTime + 16, now);

	}
}());
