akuku

Small timing counter utility. Uses process.hrtime to collect all time intervals between start and stop.

Install

$ npm install --save akuku

Usage

let tm = require('akuku')('module name'); // kind of like debug

let countSomething = tm.counter('something');

tm.start();
// do something

countSomething();

tm.stop();

next = tm.start(next);

doSomethingAsync(function() {

  countSomething(5); // you can optionally pass a bigger counter

  next();
});

// later

tm.dump(); // will print sum of times between start and stop, and all associated counters

Environment

The AKUKU environment variable has to be set to 1, on, or true to enable akuku timers and counters.

AKUKU=1 node myapp

When AKUKU is not defined or set to a falsy value akuku API is implemented using empty stubs.

API

start(next = undefined, count = 1)

Starts counting time - returns the stop function. If next is specified returns wrapped version of next that stops timer before calling next.

stop()

Stops counting time.

toString()

Displays formatted internal state - something like:

toObject()

Raw state:

• active - sum of all intervals between start and stop as [ seconds, nano ] pair
• counter - number of times start was called
• activeNow - true if between start and stop when called
• counters - additional counters as name => values object

counter(name)

Creates additional named counter. Returns counter function, which - whenever called - will increment internal counter named name Its value will become part of the state.
