## An even better requestAnimationFrame

- fixed ios6 issues upgrading to the native implementation if it works (no agent sniffing)
- like the native implementation it will group callbacks for better performance
- like the native implementation it will degrade the frame rate depending on device performance
- you can define your own frame rate specifically for every animation
- highly optimized for performance
- can be used as a shim, but has an own namespace per default
- no performance degradation if using mutilple RAF calls in parallel (see examples/compare.html)

## Usage

### Get the api

If you are inside of a commonjs/amd module:

    var AnimationFrame = require('AnimationFrame');

Otherwise its defined on window:

    var AnimationFrame = window.AnimationFrame;

### Activate the shim `AnimationFrame.shim(options)`

It will replace native implementation if it does exist but still will use it if possible.
So you can use `window.requestAnimationframe` and `window.cancelAnimationFrame` after this  safely. Optionally you can pass the frame rate.

    AnimationFrame.shim(options);

### Set custom default frame rate

There are devices with different refresh rate than 60 out of there. You can define a custom value, for the shim implementation. Native implementation should do it for you.
Do it before requesting frames, because after that the frame length is cached.

    AnimationFrame.FRAME_RATE = 30;

### Create instance `new AnimationFrame(options)`

Options can be an object or a number, number is the custom frame rate.

Options:
   - `useNative` use the native animation frame if possible, defaults to true
   - `frameRate` pass a custom frame rate

```
    // Using default frame rate
    var animationFrame = new AnimationFrame();

    // Using custom frame rate.
    var animationFrame = new AnimationFrame(20);

    // Avoid using native RAF:
    var animationFrame = new AnimationFrame({useNative: false});
```

### Request a frame `animationFrame.request(fn)`

    var frameId = animationFrame.request(function(time) {
        // Your animation here.
    });


### Cancel frame `animationFrame.cancel(frameId)`

    var animationFrame = new AnimationFrame();
    animationFrame.cancel(frameId);

### Known problems
- ios6-7 safari native animation frame animation can conflict with css animations, see [#2](/../../issues/2)
