jiffy-timer

jiffy-timer is a high-precision JavaScript timer which allows you to easily measure elapsed time in your applications.

Whether tracking performance, benchmarking functions, or creating a stopwatch, jiffy-timer gives you an easy to use API for time measurements.

Installation

You can install jiffy-timer with npm:

npm install @amscotti/jiffy-timer

Usage

Here's an example of how to use jiffy-timer:

// Import Timer class
import { Timer } from '@amscotti/jiffy-timer'

// Create a new timer instance
const timer = new Timer()

// Start the timer
timer.start()

// Do some operations... 

// Stop the timer
timer.stop()

// Get the elapsed time in milliseconds 
const elapsed = timer.elapsedTime()
console.log(elapsed)

You can also do the same with the fluent API,

// Import Timer class
import { Timer } from '@amscotti/jiffy-timer'

// Create a new timer instance and start the timer
const timer = new Timer().start()

// Do some operations... 

// Stop the timer and get the elapsed time in milliseconds 
const elapsed = timer.stop().elapsedTime()
console.log(elapsed)

API

`start()`

Starts the timer. If the timer has already been started, it throws an error.

Usage:

`stop()`

Usage:

timer.stop()

`reset()`

Resets the timer.
