fprofile

fprofile

A simple function profiler.

The tool hooks to functions (standalone or class methods) and evaluates their execution time and if verbose mode is toggled, also prints their return type and value.

Install

$ npm install fprofile

Usage

var profile = require('fprofile');

/**
 * Adds profiling hooks to object's function(s)
 * @param {Object/Function} object or function
 * @param {Number} threshold, profiler will ignore execution times (in ms) below this value
 * @param {Boolean} verbose mode
 **/
profile(object, threshold, verbose)

Example

Look, test.js contains a few examples:

var profile = require('./main.js');

function factorial(n) {
  return n > 1 ? n * factorial(n - 1) : n;
}

var timedFunction = profile(factorial);
timedFunction(5);
timedFunction(10);
timedFunction(100);

var testObject = {
  factorial: factorial,
  obj: function() {
    return { hello: 'world' };
  }
};

profile(testObject, 0, true);
testObject.factorial(5);
testObject.obj();

profile(console);
console.log('hello');
console.log('world');

Running the code above outputs:

$ node test.js
factorial(5): 0.133ms
factorial(10): 0.02ms
factorial(100): 0.232ms
Object.factorial(5)
  @time 0.194ms
  @type number
  @return 120
Object.obj()
  @time 0.21ms
  @type object
  @return {"hello":"world"}
hello
Console.log("hello"): 0.375ms
world
Console.log("world"): 0.0329ms
