simple-timer

A simple timer/stopwatch implementation.

Example usage

Specify any number of timers to be managed simultaneously, referenced by any name you give them. In the following example one timer, named "my timer", is used.

// Load dependencies.
var simple_timer = require('simple-timer')
var http = require('http')
 
// Start timer.
simple_timer.start('my timer')
var url = 'http://example.com'
http.get(url, function(res) {
    // Stop timer.
    simple_timer.stop('my timer')
    console.log('HTTP request to %s took %s milliseconds.', url, simple_timer.get('my timer').delta)
})

This should produce output like the following.

> node example.js
HTTP request to http://example.com took 125 milliseconds.

Passing true as the second parameter to the start and stop methods gives verbose output.

// Load dependencies.
var simple_timer = require('simple-timer')
var http = require('http')
 
// Start timer.
simple_timer.start('my timer', true)
http.get('http://example.com', function(res) {
    // Stop timer.
    simple_timer.stop('my timer', true)
})

The example above produces output like the following.

> node example.js
[TIMER] start - my timer
[TIMER] stop  - my timer
[TIMER] delta - my timer: 119 (0.119 seconds)

Simple.
