@timkendrick/benchmark-cli v1.0.0

@timkendrick/benchmark-cli

Command-line performance benchmarking for JavaScript

Simple command-line tool for running performance benchmark suites, providing direct speed comparison between related tests.

High-resolution results are generated by Benchmark.js.

Installation

Within a project:

npm install @timkendrick/benchmark-cli --save-dev

System-wide:

npm install -g @timkendrick/benchmark-cli

Usage

benchmark suite1.js [suite2.js] [...suite3.js]

…where the input files are CommonJS modules that export one of the following:

• An anonymous test function
• A key/value object with test names as keys and test functions as values
• An array whose items are of one of the above

Named tests within the same key/value object will be run against each other for comparison of results.

Inline scripts can also be passed via the command line using the -e argument:

benchmark -e "() => { new Array(1000).fill('a'); }" -e "() => { for (let i = 0, arr = []; i < 1000; i++) { arr.push('a') } }"

Inline scripts must conform to the same rules as the permitted CommonJS module export formats.
