I'm trying to calculate time when user open a specific screen,When he enters in the screen the the time starts and when I exit from the screen the time stops and gives the time spend on the screen
here is my code:
componentDidMount = () => {
let date = new Date();
let hours = date.getHours();
let minutes = date.getMinutes();
let seconds = date.getSeconds();
this.setState({
startHour: hours,
startMin: minutes,
startSeconds: seconds,
});
}
Here is ComponentWillunmount
componentWillUnmount() {
let date = new Date();
let endHours = date.getHours();
let endMinutes = date.getMinutes();
let endSeconds = date.getSeconds();
console.log(`${endHours}:${endMinutes}:${endSeconds}`);
console.log(
`${this.state.startHour}:${this.state.startMin}:${this.state.startSeconds}`,
);
}
When he enters in the screen the the time starts and when I exit from
the screen the time stops and gives the time spend on the screen
It's a very important Feature Request by many for web 2.0 applications. So, I write a detailed, working and simple solution on the subject here.
You are requesting a feature already created for this workflow. It's a plugin you can include in any website. It's none other than time-on-site tracking in timeonsite.js
Look at the following code (Use latest version; don't just copy/paste),
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/timeonsite/1.2.0/timeonsitetracker.js"></script>
<script>
var config = {
// track page by seconds. Default tracking is by milliseconds
trackBy: 'seconds',
trackHistoryChange: true, //Single-page React/Angular app
callback: function(data) { /* callback denotes your data tracking is real-time */
console.log(data);
var endPointUrl = 'http://example.com' //Replace with your actual backend API URL http://localhost/tos
if (data && data.trackingType) {
if (data.trackingType == 'tos') {
if (Tos.verifyData(data) != 'valid') {
console.log('Data abolished!');
return;
}
}
// make use of sendBeacon if this API is supported by your browser.
if (navigator && typeof navigator.sendBeacon === 'function') {
data.trasferredWith = 'sendBeacon';
var blob = new Blob([JSON.stringify(data)], {type : 'application/json'});
navigator.sendBeacon(endPointUrl, blob);
}
}
}
};
var Tos;
if (TimeOnSiteTracker) {
Tos = new TimeOnSiteTracker(config);
}
</script>
</head>
Then, when you refresh, reload or navigate the React app page,
You'll see following object directly saved into your table/printed in browser console. Select "persist" in logs,
{
TOSId: 1129620185532,
TOSSessionKey: "14802525481391382263",
TOSUserId: "anonymous",
title: "Test application - Home page",
URL: "http://nature-blogs/pages/home.php"
entryTime: "2021-11-27 13:15:48.663",
currentTime: "2021-11-27 13:17:31.663",
timeOnPage: 103,
timeOnSite: 103,
timeOnPageTrackedBy: "second",
timeOnPageByDuration: "0d 00h 01m 43s",
timeOnSiteByDuration: "0d 00h 01m 43s",
trackingType: "tos",
}
As you can see, the actions
"entryTime" is captured
"exitTime" is captured in seconds/milliseconds depending upon configuration
"type:time_on_site" is captured
"timeOnPage" is captured // individual page time
"timeOnSite" is captured // session overall page time
What else you need? Since it's stored in SQL DB table, you can do analysis/reporting queries yourself. The same is the case for NoSQL as well. Timeonsite.js is supporting both RDBMS and NoSql DB types.
On top of it, 1.Minimize tab, 2.Inactive tab and 3.Switch tab's idle time are all computed and ignored automatically by the tracker itself.
The only thing to note in configuration part is,
trackHistoryChange: true
If the page routing depends on Location Hash or also known as single-page app, include this setting. On the other hand if your web application is a normal page like Wikipedia, avoid setting this line. You are done. For showing the real-time stay time on screen, check this SO post. It's using Jquery to show the results. You can customize it for your React app.
This tracker can be plugged-in in any library not only in React app but also Angular, Jquery, MooTools etc. since it's plain vanilla JS library.
Let me know if you need more input on the subject. I can assist you on this.
I'm not a react dev but this is fairly simple and this would be the approach.
componentDidMount = () => {
/* On init set the start time
Also: multiplying new Date() by 1 will return a timestamp
*/
this.startTime = new Date() * 1;
}
componentWillUnmount() {
/* Then on view destroy set the endTime */
let endTime = new Date() * 1;
/* Subtract the end time with start time, since endTime has greater value. The result
is the difference between start and end time in milliseconds.
*/
let elapsed = endTime - this.startTime;
/* The result is in milliseconds so:
elapsed / 1000 -> is seconds
elapsed / 1000 / 60 -> is minutes
etc.
*/
);
I agree with #masterpreenz
componentDidMount = () => {
this.startTime = new Date() * 1;
}
componentWillUnmount() {
let endTime = new Date() * 1;
let elapsed = endTime - this.startTime;
$('viewPageStayTime').html('You spent '+elaspsed+ ' duration.');
);
I have an existing Telerik AppBuilder application that previously had working notifications before a major overhaul was done on the app. The app uses Cordova 3.7.0 and is attempting to implement the localnotifications plugin, whose source code can be found here : https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications . I installed it using the instructions specified in Telerik's "Verified Plugins" Documentation. However, it no longer functions. Through various alerts, alert(windows.plugins) and alert(cordova.plugins) is always undefined, as is alert(windows.plugins.notifications) and all permutations thereof. I saw responses to other replies saying that window.plugins would always be undefined and deprecated, but window.plugins.[PLUGIN_NAME] would exist. However, this does not seem to be the case, and this instead breaks the javascript. Below is the code current being used
define(['jQuery', 'base64'], function ($, base64) {
....
var that = this;
that.alert("starting");
document.addEventListener("deviceready", function() {
that.alert(JSON.stringify(window.plugins));
}, false);
....
}
The previously functioning code was
if (that.hasNotificationPlugin()) {
that.clearNotifications(function() {
console.info('Setting notifications');
// Schedule notifications for each day from the schedule
$.each(data.DeliveryDaysThisWeek, function (i, day) {
var dow = day.DayOfWeek;
// Schedule notifications for each store within a day
$.each(day.Stores, function (i, store) {
// Only schedule the notification if the user
// hasn't disabled notifications for this store
if (that.get('notification' + store.StoreId) !== 'false') {
var cutoffDate = new Date(store.CutOffDateTime);
var cutoffString = $.format.date(cutoffDate, 'h:mm a');
// Schedule it 30 minutes before the cutoff time
// or using the user defined time
var time = parseInt(that.get('notificationTime'));
if (isNaN(time)) {
that.set('notificationTime', "30");
time = 30;
}
var notifDate = new Date(cutoffDate.getTime() - time * 60 * 1000);
// Only schedule it if it's in the future
if (notifDate > new Date()) {
window.plugin.notification.local.add({
id: (dow * 100000 + store.DeliveryTimes[0].DeliveryTimeId).toString(),
date: notifDate,
message: "The cutoff time is almost up! Place your order by " + cutoffString,
title: store.Store.Restaurant.RestaurantName.trim(),
json: JSON.stringify({StoreId: store.StoreId}),
icon: 'icon'
});
that.alert(message) is a shortcut function for navigator.notificaiton.alert(message, false, "COMPANY_NAME") and works fine.
Why
this plugin uses cordova.plugins... or window.plugin..., can you try that? see the line of code responsible for this
I need to get execution time in milliseconds.
I originally asked this question back in 2008. The accepted answer then was to use new Date().getTime() However, we can all agree now that using the standard performance.now() API is more appropriate. I am therefore changing the accepted answer to this one.
Using performance.now():
var startTime = performance.now()
doSomething() // <---- measured code goes between startTime and endTime
var endTime = performance.now()
console.log(`Call to doSomething took ${endTime - startTime} milliseconds`)
In Node.js it is required to import the performance class
importing performance
const { performance } = require('perf_hooks');
Using console.time: (living standard)
console.time('doSomething')
doSomething() // <---- The function you're measuring time for
console.timeEnd('doSomething')
Note: The string being passed to the time() and timeEnd() methods must match(for the timer to finish as expected).
console.time() documentations:
MDN documentation
Node.js documentation
use new Date().getTime()
The getTime() method returns the number of milliseconds since midnight of January 1, 1970.
ex.
var start = new Date().getTime();
for (i = 0; i < 50000; ++i) {
// do something
}
var end = new Date().getTime();
var time = end - start;
alert('Execution time: ' + time);
Don't use Date(). Read below.
Use performance.now():
<script>
var a = performance.now();
alert('do something...');
var b = performance.now();
alert('It took ' + (b - a) + ' ms.');
</script>
It works on:
IE 10 ++
FireFox 15 ++
Chrome 24 ++
Safari 8 ++
Opera 15 ++
Android 4.4 ++
etc, etc
console.time may be viable for you, but it's non-standard §:
This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.
Besides browser support, performance.now seems to have the potential to provide more accurate timings as it appears to be the bare-bones version of console.time.
<rant> Also, DON'T EVER use Date for anything because it's affected by changes in "system time". Which means we will get invalid results —like "negative timing"— when the user doesn't have an accurate system time:
On Oct 2014, my system clock went haywire and guess what.... I opened Gmail and saw all of my day's emails "sent 0 minutes ago". And I'd thought Gmail is supposed to be built by world-class engineers from Google.......
(Set your system clock to one year ago and go to Gmail so we can all have a good laugh. Perhaps someday we will have a Hall of Shame for JS Date.)
Google Spreadsheet's now() function also suffers from this problem.
The only time you'll be using Date is when you want to show the user his system clock time. Not when you want to get the time or to measure anything.
If you need to get function execution time on your local development machine, you can either use your browser's profiling tools, or console commands such as console.time() and console.timeEnd().
All modern browsers have JavaScript profilers built-in. These profilers should give the most accurate measurement as you do not have to modify your existing code, which could affect the function's execution time.
To profile your JavaScript:
In Chrome, press F12 and select the Profiles tab, then Collect JavaScript CPU Profile.
In Firefox, install/open Firebug, and click on the Profile button.
In IE 9+, press F12, click on Script or Profiler (depending on your version of IE).
Alternatively, on your development machine, you can add instrumentation to your code with console.time() and console.timeEnd(). These functions, supported in Firefox11+, Chrome2+ and IE11+, report on timers that you start/stop via console.time(). time() takes a user-defined timer name as an argument, and timeEnd() then reports on the execution time since the timer started:
function a() {
console.time("mytimer");
... do stuff ...
var dur = console.timeEnd("myTimer"); // NOTE: dur only works in FF
}
Note that only Firefox returns the elapsed time in the timeEnd() call. The other browsers simply report the result to the developer console: the return value of timeEnd() is undefined.
If you want to get function execution time in the wild, you will have to instrument your code. You have a couple options. You can simply save the start and end times by querying new Date().getTime():
function a() {
var start = new Date().getTime();
... do stuff ...
var end = new Date().getTime();
var dur = end - start;
}
However, the Date object only has millisecond resolution and will be affected by any OS's system clock changes. In modern browsers, there's a better option.
The better option is to use the High Resolution Time, aka window.performance.now(). now() is better than the traditional Date.getTime() in two important ways:
now() is a double with submillisecond resolution that represents the number of milliseconds since the start of the page's navigation. It returns the number of microseconds in the fractional (e.g. a value of 1000.123 is 1 second and 123 microseconds).
now() is monotonically increasing. This is important as Date.getTime() can possibly jump forward or even backward on subsequent calls. Notably, if the OS's system time is updated (e.g. atomic clock synchronization), Date.getTime() is also updated. now() is guaranteed to always be monotonically increasing, so it is not affected by the OS's system time -- it will always be wall-clock time (assuming your wall clock is not atomic...).
now() can be used in almost every place that new Date().getTime(), + new Date andt Date.now() are. The exception is that Date and now() times don't mix, as Date is based on unix-epoch (the number of milliseconds since 1970), while now() is the number of milliseconds since your page navigation started (so it will be much smaller than Date).
Here's an example of how to use now():
function a() {
var start = window.performance.now();
... do stuff ...
var end = window.performance.now();
var dur = end - start;
}
now() is supported in Chrome stable, Firefox 15+, and IE10. There are also several polyfills available.
One other option for measuring execution time in the wild is UserTiming. UserTiming behaves similarly to console.time() and console.timeEnd(), but it utilizes the same High Resolution Timestamp that now() uses (so you get a sub-millisecond monotonically increasing clock), and saves the timestamps and durations to the PerformanceTimeline.
UserTiming has the concepts of marks (timestamps) and measures (durations). You can define as many of either as you want, and they're exposed on the PerformanceTimeline.
To save a timestamp, you call mark(startMarkName). To get the duration since your first mark, you simply call measure(measurename, startMarkname). The duration is then saved in the PerformanceTimeline alongside your marks.
function a() {
window.performance.mark("start");
... do stuff ...
window.performance.measure("myfunctionduration", "start");
}
// duration is window.performance.getEntriesByName("myfunctionduration", "measure")[0];
UserTiming is available in IE10+ and Chrome25+. There is also a polyfill available (which I wrote).
To get precise values you should use Performance interface. It's supported in modern versions of Firefox, Chrome, Opera and IE. Here's an example of how it can be used:
var performance = window.performance;
var t0 = performance.now();
doWork();
var t1 = performance.now();
console.log("Call to doWork took " + (t1 - t0) + " milliseconds.")
Date.getTime() or console.time() are not good for measuring precise execution time. You can use them if quick rough estimate is OK for you. By rough estimate I mean you can get 15-60 ms shift from the real time.
Check this brilliant post on measuring execution time in JavaScript. The author also gives a couple of links about accuracy of JavaScript time, worth reading.
Use Firebug, enable both Console and Javascript. Click Profile. Reload. Click Profile again. View the report.
A simple solution, you can use add operator also here
var start = +new Date();
callYourFunctionHere();
var end = +new Date();
var time = end - start;
console.log('total execution time = '+ time + 'ms');
process.hrtime() is available within Node.js - it returns a value in nanoseconds
let hrTime = process.hrtime()
console.log(hrTime[0] * 1000000 + hrTime[1] / 1000)
Here's a decorator for timing functions
It wraps functions so that they get timed each time they get run
Usage:
let test = () => { /* does something */ }
test = timed(test) // turns the function into a timed function in one line
test() // run your code as normal, logs 'function test took 1001.900ms'
This is the decorator:
let timed = (f) => (...args) => {
let start = performance.now();
let ret = f(...args);
console.log(`function ${f.name} took ${(performance.now() - start).toFixed(3)}ms`);
return ret;
}
If you're using async functions you can make timed async and add an await before f(...args), and that should work for those. It gets more complicated if you want one decorator to handle both sync and async functions.
var StopWatch = function (performance) {
this.startTime = 0;
this.stopTime = 0;
this.running = false;
this.performance = performance === false ? false : !!window.performance;
};
StopWatch.prototype.currentTime = function () {
return this.performance ? window.performance.now() : new Date().getTime();
};
StopWatch.prototype.start = function () {
this.startTime = this.currentTime();
this.running = true;
};
StopWatch.prototype.stop = function () {
this.stopTime = this.currentTime();
this.running = false;
};
StopWatch.prototype.getElapsedMilliseconds = function () {
if (this.running) {
this.stopTime = this.currentTime();
}
return this.stopTime - this.startTime;
};
StopWatch.prototype.getElapsedSeconds = function () {
return this.getElapsedMilliseconds() / 1000;
};
StopWatch.prototype.printElapsed = function (name) {
var currentName = name || 'Elapsed:';
console.log(currentName, '[' + this.getElapsedMilliseconds() + 'ms]', '[' + this.getElapsedSeconds() + 's]');
};
Benchmark
var stopwatch = new StopWatch();
stopwatch.start();
for (var index = 0; index < 100; index++) {
stopwatch.printElapsed('Instance[' + index + ']');
}
stopwatch.stop();
stopwatch.printElapsed();
Output
Instance[0] [0ms] [0s]
Instance[1] [2.999999967869371ms] [0.002999999967869371s]
Instance[2] [2.999999967869371ms] [0.002999999967869371s]
/* ... */
Instance[99] [10.999999998603016ms] [0.010999999998603016s]
Elapsed: [10.999999998603016ms] [0.010999999998603016s]
performance.now() is optional - just pass false into StopWatch constructor function.
It is possible to use only one variable:
var timer = -performance.now();
// Do something
timer += performance.now();
console.log("Time: " + (timer/1000).toFixed(5) + " sec.")
timer/1000 - to convert milliseconds to seconds
.toFixed(5) - to trim extra digits
To extend vsync's code further to have the ability to return the timeEnd as a value in NodeJS use this little piece of code.
console.timeEndValue = function(label) { // Add console.timeEndValue, to add a return value
var time = this._times[label];
if (!time) {
throw new Error('No such label: ' + label);
}
var duration = Date.now() - time;
return duration;
};
Now use the code like so:
console.time('someFunction timer');
someFunction();
var executionTime = console.timeEndValue('someFunction timer');
console.log("The execution time is " + executionTime);
This gives you more possibilities. You can store the execution time to be used for more purposes like using it in equations, or stored in a database, sent to a remote client over websockets, served on a webpage, etc.
there are multiple ways to achieve this objective :
using console.time
console.time('function');
//run the function in between these two lines for that you need to
//measure time taken by the function. ("ex. function();")
console.timeEnd('function');
this is the most efficient way :
using performance.now(), e.g.
var v1 = performance.now();
//run the function here for which you have top measure the time
var v2 = performance.now();
console.log("total time taken = "+(v2-v1)+"milliseconds");
use +(add operator) or getTime()
var h2 = +new Date(); //or
var h2 = new Date().getTime();
for(i=0;i<500;i++) { /* do something */}
var h3 = +new Date(); //or
var h3 = new Date().getTime();
var timeTaken = h3-h2;
console.log("time ====", timeTaken);
Here's what happens when you apply the unary plus operator to a Date instance:
Get the value of the Date instance in question
Convert it to a Number
NOTE: getTime() gives better performance than unary + operator.
It may help you.
var t0 = date.now();
doSomething();
var t1 = date.now();
console.log("Call to doSomething took approximate" + (t1 - t0)/1000 + " seconds.")
This is a Timer function. If you want to measure the time between multiple things that aren't nested:
function timer(lap){
if(lap) console.log(`${lap} in: ${(performance.now()-timer.prev).toFixed(3)}ms`);
timer.prev = performance.now();
}
Similar to console.time(), but easier usage if you don't need to keep track of previous timers.
Usage:
timer() // set the start
// do something
timer('built') // logs 'built in: 591.815ms'
// do something
timer('copied') // logs 'copied in: 0.065ms'
// do something
timer('compared') // logs 'compared in: 36.41ms'
If you like the blue color from console.time(), you can use this line instead
console.log(`${lap} in: %c${(performance.now()-timer.prev).toFixed(3)}ms`, 'color:blue');
Since console.time and performance.now aren't supported in some major browsers (i.e. IE10), I created a slim utility that utilizes the best available methods. However, it lacks error handling for false usages (calling End() on a not initialized timer).
Use it and improve it as you want.
Performance: {
Timer: {},
Start: function (name) {
if (console && console.time) {
console.time(name);
} else if (window.performance.now) {
this.Timer[name] = window.performance.now();
} else {
this.Timer[name] = new Date().getTime();
}
},
End: function (name) {
if (console && console.time) {
console.timeEnd(name);
} else {
var result;
if (window.performance.now) {
result = window.performance.now() - this.Timer[name];
} else {
result = new Date().getTime() - this.Timer[name];
}
console.log(name + ": " + result);
}
}
}
Use this code format
const startTime =new Date().getTime();
//do something
const endTime = new Date().getTime();
console.log(`time taken ${(endTime - startTime)/1000} seconds`);
A couple months ago I put together my own routine that times a function using Date.now() -- even though at the time the accepted method seemed to be performance.now() --
because the performance object is not yet available (built-in) in the stable Node.js release.
Today I was doing some more research and found another method for timing. Since I also found how to use this in Node.js code, I thought I would share it here.
The following is combined from the examples given by w3c and Node.js:
function functionTimer() {
performance.mark('start')
functionToBeTimed()
performance.mark('end')
performance.measure('Start to End', 'start', 'end')
const measure = performance.getEntriesByName('Start to End')[0]
console.log(measure.duration)
}
NOTE:
If you intend to use the performance object in a Node.js app, you must include the following require:
const { performance } = require('perf_hooks')
Thanks, Achim Koellner, will expand your answer a bit:
var t0 = process.hrtime();
//Start of code to measure
//End of code
var timeInMilliseconds = process.hrtime(t0)[1]/1000000; // dividing by 1000000 gives milliseconds from nanoseconds
Please, note, that you shouldn't do anything apart from what you want to measure (for example, console.log will also take time to execute and will affect performance tests).
Note, that in order by measure asynchronous functions execution time, you should insert var timeInMilliseconds = process.hrtime(t0)[1]/1000000; inside the callback. For example,
var t0 = process.hrtime();
someAsyncFunction(function(err, results) {
var timeInMilliseconds = process.hrtime(t0)[1]/1000000;
});
With performance
NodeJs: It is required to import the performance class
var time0 = performance.now(); // Store the time at this point into time0
yourFunction(); // The function you're measuring time for
var time1 = performance.now(); // Store the time at this point into time1
console.log("youFunction took " + (time1 - time0) + " milliseconds to execute");
Using console.time
console.time('someFunction');
someFunction(); // Whatever is timed goes between the two "console.time"
console.timeEnd('someFunction');
Use console.time('some label here') before the function and console.timeEnd('some label here') after the function. It will give you the running time of the function.
Stopwatch with cumulative cycles
Works with server and client (Node or DOM), uses the Performance API.
Good when you have many small cycles e.g. in a function called 1000 times that processes 1000 data objects but you want to see how each operation in this function adds up to the total.
So this one uses a module global (singleton) timer. Same as a class singleton pattern, just a bit simpler to use, but you need to put this in a separate e.g. stopwatch.js file.
const perf = typeof performance !== "undefined" ? performance : require('perf_hooks').performance;
const DIGITS = 2;
let _timers = {};
const _log = (label, delta?) => {
if (_timers[label]) {
console.log(`${label}: ` + (delta ? `${delta.toFixed(DIGITS)} ms last, ` : '') +
`${_timers[label].total.toFixed(DIGITS)} ms total, ${_timers[label].cycles} cycles`);
}
};
export const Stopwatch = {
start(label) {
const now = perf.now();
if (_timers[label]) {
if (!_timers[label].started) {
_timers[label].started = now;
}
} else {
_timers[label] = {
started: now,
total: 0,
cycles: 0
};
}
},
/** Returns total elapsed milliseconds, or null if stopwatch doesn't exist. */
stop(label, log = false) {
const now = perf.now();
if (_timers[label]) {
let delta;
if(_timers[label].started) {
delta = now - _timers[label].started;
_timers[label].started = null;
_timers[label].total += delta;
_timers[label].cycles++;
}
log && _log(label, delta);
return _timers[label].total;
} else {
return null;
}
},
/** Logs total time */
log: _log,
delete(label) {
delete _timers[label];
}
};
The best way would be to use the performance hooks module. Although unstable, you can mark specific areas of your code and measure the duration between marked areas.
const { performance, PerformanceObserver } = require('perf_hooks');
const measures = []
const obs = new PerformanceObserver(list => measures.push(...list.getEntries()));
obs.observe({ entryTypes: ['measure'] });
const getEntriesByType = cb => cb(measures);
const doSomething = val => {
performance.mark('beginning of the process');
val *= 2;
performance.mark('after multiplication');
performance.measure('time taken', 'beginning of the process', 'after multiplication');
getEntriesByType(entries => {
entries.forEach(entry => console.log(entry));
})
return val;
}
doSomething(4);
Try here
export default class Singleton {
static myInstance: Singleton = null;
_timers: any = {};
/**
* #returns {Singleton}
*/
static getInstance() {
if (Singleton.myInstance == null) {
Singleton.myInstance = new Singleton();
}
return this.myInstance;
}
initTime(label: string) {
this._timers[label] = Date.now();
return this._timers[label];
}
endTime(label: string) {
const endTime = Date.now();
if (this._timers[label]) {
const delta = endTime - this._timers[label];
const finalTime = `${label}: ${delta}ms`;
delete this._timers[label];
return finalTime;
} else {
return null;
}
}
}
InitTime related to string.
return Singleton.getInstance().initTime(label); // Returns the time init
return Singleton.getInstance().endTime(label); // Returns the total time between init and end
In my case, I perfer to use # grammar suger and compile it with babel.
The problem of this method is that function has to be inside object.
Sample JS Code
function timer() {
return (target, propertyKey, descriptor) => {
const start = Date.now();
let oldFunc = descriptor.value;
descriptor.value = async function (){
var result = await oldFunc.apply(this, arguments);
console.log(Date.now() - start);
return result;
}
}
}
// Util function
function delay(timeout) {
return new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(() => {
resolve();
}, timeout));
}
class Test {
#timer()
async test(timout) {
await delay(timout)
console.log("delay 1");
await delay(timout)
console.log("delay 2");
}
}
const t = new Test();
t.test(1000)
t.test(100)
.babelrc (for babel 6)
{
"plugins": [
"transform-decorators-legacy"
]
}
To start the timer use console.time("myTimer");
Optional: To print the elapsed time, use
console.timeLog("myTimer");
Finally, to stop the timer and print the final
time: console.timeEnd("myTimer");
You can read more about this on MDN and in the Node.js documentation.
Available on Chrome, Firefox, Opera and NodeJS. (not on Edge or Internet Explorer).
Note: Simplest implementation of pure functional, ES6 method, no extra variables needed, just 3 lines of codes. Handles sync and async codes, so no external libraries needed, works in both JavaScript and Node JS, can even use to test the latency of your APIs
// Create one-liner timer function
let [timer, timingMonitor] = [0, () => timer = !timer ? Date.now() : `${Date.now() - timer}ms`]
// Initiate timer
timingMonitor();
// Your code here
doSomething();
// End timer
console.log(timingMonitor());
// Console output: "102ms", for example
Basic TypeScript example that supports marks. Calling start('something') will begin the timer and stop('something') will end the timer and return a formatted string containing elapsed time.
View Flems Example
/**
* Mark entries
*/
export const marks: { [id: string]: number } = {};
/**
* Start timing
*/
export const start = (id: string) => {
return Object.assign(marks, {[id]: Date.now() })[id]
}
/**
* Clear all
*/
export const clear = () => {
for (const id in marks) delete marks[id];
};
/**
* Stop timing and return formatted elapsed time
*/
export const stop = (id: string) => {
const ms = Date.now() - marks[id];
delete marks[id];
return ms > 1000
? `${(ms / 1000).toFixed(0)}s ${+ms.toFixed(0).slice(1)}ms`
: `${ms.toFixed(0)}ms`;
};
The example code is exporting each function. You can drop this into a project and call the methods accordingly from a default as import, eg:
import * as time from './timer.js'
time.start('foo')
// do something
console.log('elapsed time: ' + time.stop('bar'))
As previously stated check for and use built in timer. But if you want or need to write your own here is my two cents:
//=-=|Source|=-=//
/**
* JavaScript Timer Object
*
* var now=timer['elapsed']();
* timer['stop']();
* timer['start']();
* timer['reset']();
*
* #expose
* #method timer
* #return {number}
*/
timer=function(){
var a=Date.now();
b=0;
return{
/** #expose */
elapsed:function(){return b=Date.now()-a},
start:function(){return a=Date.now()},
stop:function(){return Date.now()},
reset:function(){return a=0}
}
}();
//=-=|Google Advanced Optimized|=-=//
timer=function(){var a=Date.now();b=0;return{a:function(){return b=Date.now()-a},start:function(){return a=Date.now()},stop:function(){return Date.now()},reset:function(){return a=0}}}();

The accepted answer is wrong !
Since JavaScript is asynchronous, the values of the variable end of the accepted answer would be wrong.
var start = new Date().getTime();
for (i = 0; i < 50000; ++i) {
// JavaScript is not waiting until the for is finished !!
}
var end = new Date().getTime();
var time = end - start;
alert('Execution time: ' + time);
The execution of the for may be very fast so you can not see that the result is wrong. You can test it with a code doing some request :
var start = new Date().getTime();
for (i = 0; i < 50000; ++i) {
$.ajax({
url: 'www.oneOfYourWebsites.com',
success: function(){
console.log("success");
}
});
}
var end = new Date().getTime();
var time = end - start;
alert('Execution time: ' + time);
So the alert will prompt very quickly but in the console you'll see that the ajax requests are continuing.
