This extension called Hype MutationObserver, is a wrapper to MutationObserver. It allows to observer elements and act upon changes on their attributes, childlist and subtree. This Hype specific wrapper takes care to register and unregister the observer. It also helps in keeping the callback mutation events scene specific and offers an update rate feature.

Basic usage:

	hypeDocument.startMutationObserver(element, function(mutation){
		// your code goes here and executes whenever the style attribute changes
	}, { attributes: true, attributeFilter: [ "style"]});

Advanced usage (with all options):

	hypeDocument.startMutationObserver(element, function(mutation){
		// your code goes here and executes whenever the style attribute changes
	}, { 
		id:'test', /* ID for managing, defaults to callback if not anonymous */
		updaterate: 30, /* 1-60 optional limit for updates per second */
		scope: window,	/* defines scope of execution, defaults to hypeDocument */
		/* All options discussed at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MutationObserverInit work here */
		attributes: true, 
		attributeFilter: [ "stroke-dashoffset" ], 
		attributeOldValue: true 
	});

Hints on using the updaterate:

Use updaterate on the config object to set it up. If you use the updaterate feature to limit the amount of triggers on your mutation code, the extension also takes care to apply the first initial update and the last update. If you don't want that you can disable them using the config keys disableInitialUpdate and disableFinalUpdate

PS: As seen on the right hand side of the visualization, the check against the updaterate is not always on the heartbeat of the interval. That is rather what Hype AnimationFrame is for. So if a mutation event falls inbetween to heartbeats (interval) and more time has passed then an interval, it gets fired. That also always sets up a delayed timeout callback to fire any cached mutations in the next interval as a final update.
