This method acts as a normalization of the standard cancelAnimationFrame method of the window object.

window.cancelAnimationFrame ||
window.webkitCancelAnimationFrame ||
window.mozCancelAnimationFrame ||
window.oCancelAnimationFrame ||
window.msCancelAnimationFrame

If the API in the code above is not supported, the DevExpress.utils.cancelAnimationFrame(requestID) method clears a timer set with the requestAnimationFrame method.

The getTimeZones method returns time zone data that is accurate for a specific date. Implement the method to get historical daylight savings data.

If you do not pass the timeZones parameter, the method returns the entire list of IANA time zone objects, which includes almost 600 time zones. To get a list of specific time zones, pass a string array to the timeZones property with TZ identifiers. For example, ["America/Los_Angeles"] returns data for the Los Angeles time zone.

The following code illustrates how to use this method:

const timeZonesToday = DevExpress.utils.getTimeZones();
// An array of all 593 time zones on the IANA time zone database
const timeZonesSpecific = DevExpress.utils.getTimeZones(new Date(2025, 1, 1), ["America/Los_Angeles"]);
// [ {id: 'America/Los_Angeles', title: '(GMT -08:00) America - Los Angeles', offset: -8} ]
// ===== or when using modules =====
import { getTimeZones } from "devextreme/common/core/environment";
const timeZonesToday = getTimeZones();
const timeZonesSpecific = getTimeZones(new Date(2025, 1, 1), ["America/Los_Angeles"]);

import { getTimeZones } from "devextreme-angular/common/core/environment";
const timeZonesToday = getTimeZones();
// An array of all 593 time zones on the IANA time zone database
const timeZonesSpecific = getTimeZones(new Date(2025, 1, 1), ["America/Los_Angeles"]);
// [ {id: 'America/Los_Angeles', title: '(GMT -08:00) America - Los Angeles', offset: -8} ]

This method acts as a normalization of the standard requestAnimationFrame method of the window object:

window.requestAnimationFrame ||
window.webkitRequestAnimationFrame ||
window.mozRequestAnimationFrame ||
window.oRequestAnimationFrame ||
window.msRequestAnimationFrame

If the API in the code above is not supported, the DevExpress.utils.requestAnimationFrame(callback) method calls the function passed as a parameter after an internally set timeout.
