JavaScript
Trace frame rate lag with a sexy performance radar

LagRadar

It's a sexy little lag radar for demonstrating performance - or lack of.

Add this to any javascript application and you can see when the app drops below 60fps as the radar sweep changes colour and gets janky.

Usage

The radar is published as a zero dependency es6 javascript module.

import lagRadar from './lag-radar.js';

const destroy = lagRadar({
  frames: 50,    // number of frames to draw, more = worse performance
  speed: 0.0017, // how fast the sweep moves (rads per ms)
  size: 300,     // outer frame px
  inset: 3,      // circle inset px
  parent: document.body, // DOM node to attach to
});

// later ...
destroy();

It also exposes css class hooks for styling the radar

To run the demo

npm install
npm start
open http://localhost:9080/
