chrome-trace-event
Advanced tools
A library to create a trace of your node app per Google's Trace Event format.
Package description
The chrome-trace-event npm package provides tools for creating and managing trace events in the format used by Chrome's tracing infrastructure. This is useful for developers who need to analyze performance issues or understand the behavior of their applications in a detailed and visual way.
Creating trace events
This feature allows developers to create instant trace events. The events are timestamped and can include additional arguments for more detailed analysis.
const tracer = require('chrome-trace-event').Tracer;
const trace = new tracer({ noStream: true });
trace.instantEvent({ name: 'myEvent', id: 1, args: { someDetail: 'detailValue' } });
trace.close();Streaming trace events
This feature supports streaming trace events directly to a file or any writable stream, which is useful for capturing longer trace sessions without consuming too much memory.
const tracer = require('chrome-trace-event').Tracer;
const fs = require('fs');
const traceStream = fs.createWriteStream('trace.json');
const trace = new tracer({ stream: traceStream });
trace.instantEvent({ name: 'streamedEvent', id: 2 });
trace.close();This package provides similar functionality for creating and managing trace events. It integrates with Node.js core trace_events module, offering a more native approach compared to chrome-trace-event which is more manual and flexible.
While not directly similar, speedline analyzes trace logs (like those generated by chrome-trace-event) to compute performance metrics and visual progress of web pages. It complements the output of chrome-trace-event by providing higher-level analysis tools.
