StopWatch
simple class utility for tracking amount of time elapsed in milliseconds (ms), by comparing time stamps
- version 1.1.0: added typescript type definitions for StopWatch class
- version 1.2.1: fixed bug where when stop, and resume again, the logic to calculate new time elapsed (while taking into account previous time elapsed) was wrong
how to use StopWatch class via NPM/node.js
installation from terminal/CMD line
npm i @slime/stopwatch
usage: first instantiate a new StopWatch object instance from the StopWatch class
const StopWatch = require("@slime/stopwatch");
let stopWatch = new StopWatch();
API to start, stop, resume, reset with:
stopWatch.startTimer();
stopWatch.stopTimer();
stopWatch.startTimer();
stopWatch.reset();
getters API to query number of ms elapsed and display time elapsed as minutes/seconds/ms string:
stopWatch.getTimeElapsedInMs; // returns number of time elapsed in ms
stopWatch.getTimeElapsedInStopWatchFormatString; // returns mins/secs/ms in 00:00:00 format
demo usage
start timer and show time elapsed after 1.5 seconds
const StopWatch = require("@slime/stopwatch");
let stopWatch = new StopWatch();
console.log(stopWatch.getTimeElapsedInMs);
console.log(stopWatch.getTimeElapsedInStopWatchFormatString);
stopWatch.startTimer();
setTimeout(()=>{
stopWatch.stopTimer();
console.log(stopWatch.getTimeElapsedInMs);
console.log(stopWatch.getTimeElapsedInStopWatchFormatString);
}, 1500);
