What's the replacement for "continuous" Canvas mode?

[neilwithdata]

It seems like in previous versions of react-native-skia, it was possible to set the Canvas mode to "continuous" and in that way, have the canvas redrawn on every frame. You could then also, using the Drawing component, and the drawing prop, imperatively draw what's going to go into every frame.

This is used in the "Typography Metaball" tutorial which is linked to today on the tutorials page: https://shopify.github.io/react-native-skia/docs/tutorials
See: https://github.com/daehyeonmun2021/react-native-animation-lab/blob/main/src/screens/typography-metaball/typography-metaball.screen.tsx

However, this is all gone now in the latest version. How can you achieve the same effect now? I'm trying to get full imperative drawing control per-frame (not simply animate one or two animatable props).

Reanimated is used for animation: https://shopify.github.io/react-native-skia/docs/animations/animations/
that would include Skia animation that runs on every frame (there is a useClock() hook for that). I hope this helps (I know this topic was already touched on Twitter)
