Overview

@clxd/affer is a bare-metal, zero-dependency library designed to capture, process, and synchronize sensory data streams (mouse, keyboard, scroll, viewport, and window telemetry) in high-refresh-rate interactive web applications.

Inspired by afferent neurons this tool acts as the peripheral nervous system for your Canvas, WebGL, or mathematical simulation loops.

Why affer?

Section titled “Why affer?”

  • Framerate Independence: Core math utilities and contextual interpolations are driven by Delta Time (dt). This guarantees your animations and trackers move at the exact same physical speed on 60Hz, 120Hz, or 144Hz displays.

  • Zero Garbage Collection Overhead (Zero-GC): Made specifically for high-performance execution loops (requestAnimationFrame). It avoids instantiating ephemeral objects inside the tick callback, keeping the browser’s garbage collector at peace.

  • Pure Tree-Shakable Architecture: Packed with a strict "sideEffects": false configuration. Your bundler can safely discard unused trackers, ensuring you only pay a file-weight penalty for the exact features you import.
