requestIdleCallback and Safari Polyfill

[jkelleyrtp]

Gloo recently got RequestAnimationFrame (yay!). It would be nice to also have requestIdleCallback that comes with the "Deadline" object.

I would like to see rIC as both a callback and a future type API so you could await the next idle frame.

Before I go about implementing this:

• Is there something similar to rIC to work from that fits with the gloo patterns?
• Is this something gloo will accept?
• Are there any ideas on what rIC should look like and how it should polyfill?

Is there something similar to rIC to work from that fits with the gloo patterns?

Is requestAnimationFrame not a good reference point?

Is this something gloo will accept?

I don't see why not

Are there any ideas on what rIC should look like and how it should polyfill?

I think the API should probably be like requestAnimationFrame one. Not sure about polyfill though. Is that something gloo should even provide?
