How do we deal with Date And Time… Basically i need some type of performance.now or Date.now to get the current time in milliseconds ?

Hi @MackeyK24

Date.now() is supported. I just tried it and I get a value.
performance is not.

Thanks… @Cedric … Luckily conditional check still works great in native babylon so i can check for window.performance … if not defined, use window.Date…

Thanks

The BABYLON.Tools.Now() checks for Performance for you, as I remember.

Another option is to add a polyfill for performance.now. Shouldn’t be too hard to add.

Think that should be in addition to rather than another option, though. Nobody, is going direct dev here, so it has to run on a browser too, which might have performance.

Something like:

if (!performance) {
  performance = {
    now: () => 0;
    // any other functions you need
  }
}

should provide the functionality anywhere outside the browser
