raf-perf

RAF loop with an adaptive fps and performance ratio calculated from either a sample count or a sample duration. Typically used when doing intensive graphics computation in canvas.

Installation

npm install raf-perf

Usage

import RafPerf from "raf-perf";
import createCanvasContext from "canvas-context";

const { context, canvas } = createCanvasContext("2d", {
  width: window.innerWidth,
  height: window.innerHeight,
  offscreen: true,
});
document.body.appendChild(canvas);

const engine = new RafPerf();

const offTick = engine.on("tick", (dt) => {
  // Clear
  context.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);

  // Draw
  // ...
});

const offPerf = engine.on("perf", (ratio) => {
  if (!ratio) return;

  console.log(`Performance ratio: ${ratio}`);

  if (ratio < 0.9) {
    console.log("Too many draws");
  } else if (ratio >= 0.9 && rectCount < maxRectCount) {
    console.log("Draw more");
  }
});

engine.start();

const destroy = () => {
  if (engine.isRunning) engine.stop();
  offTick();
  offPerf();
};

Classes

RafPerf

Events

"perf"

Event triggered when performance ratio (this.frameDuration / averageDeltaTime) is updated. Understand a ratio of the fps, for instance for a fps value of 24, ratio < 0.5 means that the averaged fps < 12 and you should probably do something about it.

"tick"

Event triggered on tick, throttled by options.fps.
