rafu is a lightweight JavaScript utility that provides a `requestAnimationFrame` shim and enhanced animation scheduling capabilities. It ensures that animations run smoothly and efficiently across different browser environments by offering a robust fallback for `requestAnimationFrame` where native support might be missing or prefixed. Beyond merely polyfilling, rafu includes a `throttled` utility for synchronizing function calls with the browser's repaint cycle, which is crucial for performance-sensitive tasks like scroll handling, resize events, or continuous input processing. The package is currently at version 1.2.0, with its latest update introducing explicit cancellation methods for both direct `rafu` calls and functions created with `rafu.throttled`. Its minimal footprint and focused functionality make it a straightforward choice for projects needing basic `requestAnimationFrame` management without introducing heavy dependencies.
