Lapper

A minimalistic stopwatch utility.
Useful for recording multiple execution times for subsections of code.

Usage

start() the stopwatch and then use lap() to record a split after running some code.
Pass a string to lap() to label your splits.
log() produces a record of your labeled split times.

const Lapper = require('lapper')

const sw = new Lapper()
sw.start()

doSomething()
sw.lap('function_1')
// returns: 441

doSomethingElse()
sw.lap('function_2')
// returns: 90

const output = sw.log()

Output: { 'function_1': 441, 'function_2': 90, total: 531 }
Execution time is in milliseconds.

Logging

lap() and log() can be told to print to console automatically by passing true as a parameter.

const Lapper = require('lapper')

const sw = new Lapper()
sw.start()

doSomething()
sw.lap('function_1', true)
// prints: 'function_1: 441'

sw.log(true)
// prints: { 'function_1': 441, total: 441 }

Starting

The stopwatch can be told to start timing right away by passing true to the constructor.

const Lapper = require('lapper')

const sw = new Lapper(true)

doSomething()
sw.lap('function_1', true)
// prints: 'function_1: 441'

Restarting

Restart the timer on the stopwatch with restart().

const Lapper = require('lapper')

const sw = new Lapper()
sw.start()

doSomething()
sw.lap('function_1')

sw.log(true)
// prints: { 'function_1': 441, total: 441 }

sw.restart()

doSomethingElse()
sw.lap('function_2')

sw.log(true)
// prints: { 'function_2': 90, total: 90 }

Default Labels

Unlabeled splits will default to 'split_1', 'split_2', ... 'split_n'

const Lapper = require('lapper')

const sw = new Lapper()
sw.start()

doSomething()
sw.lap()

doSomethingElse()
sw.lap()

const output = sw.log()

Output: { 'split_1': 441, 'split_2': 90, total: 531 }
