Usage Examples

Basic Timeline Usage

import { TimelineController } from './timeline';

const timeline = new TimelineController({
  timeScale: 1.0,
  animationSpeed: 1.0,
  timeUpdateMode: 'fixed_delta',
  fixedDeltaTime: 0.016,
});

timeline.addEventListener(event => {
  console.log('Timeline event:', event);
});

timeline.start();

function animate() {
  requestAnimationFrame(animate);
  const currentTime = timeline.update(performance.now());
  updateAnimations(currentTime);
}

Variable Delta Mode

const timeline = new TimelineController({
  timeScale: 2.0,
  timeOffset: 5.0,
  animationSpeed: 1.5,
  timeUpdateMode: 'variable_delta',
  maxDeltaTime: 0.05,
});

timeline.setTimeScale(0.5);
timeline.setTimeOffset(10.0);

const stats = timeline.getStats();
console.log('Timeline stats:', stats);

State Management

if (timeline.isPlaying()) {
  console.log('Animation is playing');
}

timeline.pause();
// ... custom logic
timeline.resume();

timeline.stop();
timeline.setTime(0);

Event Handling

timeline.addEventListener((event) => {
  switch (event.type) {
    case 'play':
      console.log('Animation started at speed:', event.data.speed);
      break;
    case 'pause':
      console.log('Animation paused');
      break;
    case 'timeChange':
      console.log('Time changed to:', event.data.time);
      break;
    case 'speedChange':
      console.log('Speed changed:', event.data.oldSpeed, '→', event.data.newSpeed);
      break;
  }
});

Fallback Preview Mode

if (timeline.isFallbackPreviewMode()) {
  console.log('In fallback preview mode');
  // Handle preview/export scenario
}

Integration with AnimationManager

// In render loop
const time = timeline.update(performance.now());
animationManager.setDynamicAnimationTime(time);

Notes

Update Modes:
fixed_delta – Use for deterministic steps (physics, deterministic animations)
variable_delta – Use for smooth playback (frame-rate dependent animations)
Performance:
Avoid calling setTime() every frame; prefer event listeners over polling
Use update() method in render loop for automatic time progression
Event listeners are batched and error-handled
Precision:
Uses performance.now() for high-precision timing
Microsecond precision is supported
Time values are in seconds
State Synchronization:
State changes automatically trigger events
Events include timestamp and relevant data
Listeners are called synchronously
Validation:
Invalid config values are clamped to safe ranges:
- timeScale: minimum 0.01
- animationSpeed: minimum 0.1x
- maxDeltaTime: clamps variable delta to prevent extreme values
State transitions are validated (e.g., can't pause if not playing)
Fallback Preview Mode:
Detected when frameTime < -0.5
Useful for export/recording scenarios
Access via isFallbackPreviewMode() or TimelineController.FALLBACK_PREVIEW_THRESHOLD
Compatibility:
TimelineController provides compatibility methods for legacy code
Both new API (start(), pause()) and legacy API (startAnimation(), pauseAnimation()) are supported
