Edge Animate

A lightweight polyfill for the Web Animations API. (WAAPI)

This project aims to provide a lightweight polyfill to WAAPI that leverages CSS Keyframes and does not call requestAnimationFrame on every frame.

How to use

This library automatically polyfills on browsers without Element.prototype.animate(). There are a few functions that can be called manually however:

// force rendering of CSS keyframes immediately
edge.forceRender()

// call animate directly
edge.animate(el, keyframes, timing)

// manually replaces animate()
// Call only if you want to forcibly overwrite Element.prototype.animate()
edge.polyfill()

// use this to determine if the animate() has been overridden
if (edge.isPolyfilled()) {
    // do something
}

Setup

Include this in your head:

<script href="https://unpkg.com/edge-animate/dist/edge-animate.min.js"></script>

Or download with npm and import this in your entry js file:

npm i edge-animate -S

import 'edge-animate'
