performance-mark-metadata

performance.mark with custom meta data.

This library inspired by User Timing API Level 3. This proposal will add details as metadata to performance.mark.

Supports

• Modern browser and Node.js >= 8.5.0
• They are supported Performance.mark() API.
• Performance Timing API | Node.js v9.2.0 Documentation

Old browser need to Performance.mark() polyfill.

• nicjansma/usertiming.js: UserTiming polyfill

Install

Install with npm:

npm install performance-mark-metadata

Usage

API

export interface PerformanceMetadataMarkerMetadata {
    startTime?: number;
    details: any;
}
export interface PerformanceMetadataMarkerArgs {
    performance?: Performance;
}
export declare class PerformanceMetadataMarker {
    private metadataMap;
    private performance;
    constructor(args?: PerformanceMetadataMarkerArgs);
    /**
     * Mark `name` with `metadata`
     * You can get the `metadata` by using `getEntryMetadata`.
     */
    mark(name: string, metadata?: PerformanceMetadataMarkerMetadata): void;
    /**
     * Return a metadata if match the `entry`
     */
    getEntryMetadata(entry: PerformanceEntry): PerformanceMetadataMarkerMetadata | undefined;
    /**
     * Clear a metadata for `entry`
     */
    clearEntryMetadata(entry: PerformanceEntry): boolean;
    /**
     * Clear all metadata
     */
    clear(): void;
}

PerformanceEntry is defined in User Timing API. It is results of performance.getEntries(), performance.getEntriesByName(), and performance.getEntriesByType().

Example

import { PerformanceMetadataMarker } from "performance-mark-metadata";
const marker = new PerformanceMetadataMarker();
const metadata = {
    details: { key: "value" }
};
const markerName = "1";
// mark with metadata
marker.mark(markerName, metadata);
performance.getEntriesByName(markerName).forEach(entry => {
    const result = marker.getEntryMetadata(entry);
    /*
    {
        details: { key: "value" }
    };
    */
    assert.strictEqual(result, metadata, "should get same metadata");
});

Usage in Node.js

Node.js 8.5.0 introduce perf_hooks module. You pass require("perf_hooks").performance to PerformanceMetadataMarker constructor arguments.

import { PerformanceMetadataMarker } from "performance-mark-metadata";
const nodePerformanceHook = require("perf_hooks");
const performance = nodePerformanceHook.performance;
const marker = new PerformanceMetadataMarker({
    performance
});
marker.mark("name", {
    details: { key: "value" }
});

UseCase

• See https://azu.github.io/performance-mark-metadata

git clone https://github.com/azu/performance-mark-metadata.git
cd performance-mark-metadata/docs
npm install
open index.html

You want to found performance problem on viewing the site. You can analyze the problem by using performance-mark-metadata.

It is useful for Real user monitoring(RUM). In development, you can use browser's development tools, but it is difficult about RUM.

Mark points

• Mark current Frame Per Seconds(FPS)
• Mark each action

Record FPS

const { PerformanceMetadataMarker } = require("performance-mark-metadata");
const marker = new PerformanceMetadataMarker();
 
const FpsEmitter = require("fps-emitter");
const fps = new FpsEmitter();
fps.on("update", function(FPS) {
    // mark current FPS
    marker.mark("FPS", {
        details: {
            FPS: FPS
        }
    });
});

and record action

// heavy task
const heavyTaskButton = document.getElementById("js-button");
heavyTaskButton.addEventListener("click", () => {
    marker.mark("Heavy Action");
 
    // ... heavy task ...
})

After that, you can get FPS and action logs.

const logData = performance.getEntriesByType("mark").map(entry => {
    const meta = marker.getEntryMetadata(entry);
    return {
        type: entry.name,
        timeStamp: entry.startTime,
        meta: meta
    };
});

Analytics

You can get the log data and analyze the log data.

For example, visualize the log data by using C3.js. You can found the relationship between "FPS" and "Heavy Task".
