vlt Debuts New JavaScript Package Manager and Serverless Registry at NodeConf EU
vlt introduced its new package manager and a serverless registry this week, innovating in a space where npm has stagnated.
A nanosecond granularity (on Node.js) stopwatch with chainable control methods, and built-in formatting.
Times the execution of a function, and returns the duration.
Represents a duration with nanosecond granularity, and provides methods for converting to other granularities, and formatting the duration.
npm install --save durations
{duration, stopwatch, time: timeSync, timeAsync} = require 'durations'
nanoseconds = 987654321
console.log "Duration is", duration(nanoseconds).format()
# Or, since toString() is an alias to format()
console.log "Duration is #{duration(nanoseconds)}"
watch = stopwatch()
watch.stop() # Pauses the stopwatch. Returns the stopwatch.
watch.start() # Starts the stopwatch from where it was last stopped. Returns the stopwatch.
watch.reset() # Reset the stopwatch (duration is set back to zero). Returns the stopwatch.
duration = watch.duration() # Returns the Duration.
# Synchronous work
someFunction = ->
count = 0
for c in [1 .. 1000000]
count += 1
console.log "Count is: #{count}"
console.log "Took #{timeSync(someFunction)} to do something"
# Asynchronous work
someOtherFunction = (next) ->
someFunction()
next()
timeAsync someOtherFunction, (duration) ->
console.log "Took #{duration} to do something else."
The durations
module supports both Node.js and browsers. When using Node.js, the nanosecond-granulatiry process.hrtime()
function is used. The best substitution is selected when in the browser such that consistency is maintained even if time granularity cannot be.
