troll-avg
Time-based rolling average calculations for node.js
Installation
Via npm:
$npm install --save troll-avg
Quick Start
var Troll=; // Setup 5 counting slots collecting updates for 1 second each // for three different keys. This will give the average values// over the last 5 seconds.var ravg='foo''bar''bletch' 1 5; // Increment a random key by 1 every 250 mS; // Show all averages every second;
Methods
Constructor (allowedKeys, period, binCount)
The constructor expects three arguments.
- An array of the keys that are being averaged.
- How many seconds the data for each key is collected into one bins.
- How many bins that the average is calculated over.
.update(key, cnt)
Add then cnt value into the current bin. If cnt is not specified it defaults to 1.
.average(key)
Return the rolling average value for the specified key.
.averages()
Return the rolling average values for all keys as an object.
Notes
Since the collection of the values for the current time period is made into a separate set of bins calling .average() or .averages() before the first time period have elapsed the returned average(s) will be zero(s).
Testing
Unit tests are done with mocha/chai. They can be run with npm test
