React hook for easy and performant access to requestAnimationFrame browser API
use-request-animation-frame
React hook for easy access requestAnimationFrame browser API.
Written with Typescript and provides you with handy animation duration control.
Usage
-
Basic usage requres only one handler:
const nextAnimationFrameHandler = (progress: number) => {...}; useRequestAnimationFrame(nextAnimationFrameHandler);
With this
nextAnimationFrameHandler
will be called every frame andprogress
variable will always have value 1, so you wont need it in yournextAnimationFrameHandler
-
Usage with
duration
:const myAnimatedDiv = React.useRef(); const nextAnimationFrameHandler = (progress: number) => { if(myAnimatedDiv.current) myAnimatedDiv.current.style.left = progress * 100 + 'px' //... } useRequestAnimationFrame(nextAnimationFrameHandler, { duration: 2000 })
In this case
nextAnimationFrameHandler
will be called every frame withprogress
calculated based on time when first animation frame was shown -
Usage with
shouldAnimate
:const [shouldAnimate, setShouldAnimate] = React.useState(false); const nextAnimationFrameHandler = (progress: number) => {...}; useRequestAnimationFrame(nextAnimationFrameHandler, { duration: 2000, shouldAnimate });
In this case
nextAnimationFrameHandler
will not be called initially and animation will start only aftersetShouldAnimate(true)
