broccoli-viz-sunburst

Installation

npm install -g broccoli-viz-sunburst

Requirements

• Node.js v4 or higher
• npm v2 or higher

Usage

First, you must generate Ember instrumentation files during a build. broccoli-viz-sunburst works with both older broccoli-viz.*.json files as well as newer instrumentation.*.json files.

BROCCOLI_VIZ=1 ember build
# produces broccoli-viz.0.json or instrumentation.build.0.json 
 
BROCCOLI_VIZ=1 ember serve
# produces broccoli-viz.{buildNumber}.json or instrumentation.build.{buildNumber}.json 

Then, you can use broccoli-viz-sunburst to create a visualization of the build data:

# If you have a broccoli-viz file. 
broccoli-viz-sunburst broccoli-viz.*.json
 
# If you have instrumentation files. 
broccoli-viz-sunburst instrumentation.*.json

Note that you can visualize multiple builds at once by supplying multiple file names to broccoli-viz-sunburst.

Finally, you can view your visualization(s) by opening the dist/broccoli-viz-sunburst.html file, either directly from disk or by visiting /broccoli-viz-sunburst.html if your Ember server is currently running.

Interacting with the visualization

broccoli-viz-sunburst provides the following actions on the visualization:

• Hover over a segment to see its statistics:
  • name / label
  • "self" time — the time taken by this node only
  • total time — the time taken by this node and all its descendants
  • I/O time¹ — the time taken to perform this node's I/O operations, if any
  • I/O count¹ — the number of I/O operations performed by this node
• Click a node to zoom into it, showing only it and its children.
• Click the center of the graph to zoom out one level.
• Click the "Zoom to top" button to quickly return to the root node.
• Use the select input to choose which file to visualize.

¹ Older versions of Ember CLI may not record I/O statistics.
