API

Documentation at Mozilla Developer Network, W3 Specification

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).
