http-duration-client

http-duration-client

Measure duration (in milliseconds) for Node HTTP lifecycle events from various phases of HTTP:

• DNS lookup
• TCP/Socket connect
• TLS connect
• First byte
• Content transfer
• Total request

Development

• To check the HTTP lifecycle events, clone this repository

git clone [e-mail]:congruencelabs/http-duration-client.git

• Install the package dependencies using yarn

yarn install

• Run the examples/client-with-duration.js file to see the lifecycle events being logged for a request to https://api.github.com/users

Usage

• Install the http-duration-client using npm or yarn

npm install http-duration-client

or

yarn add http-duration-client

• Make an http request to an endpoint as shown in example below

const { requestWithDuration } = require('http-duration-client');

requestWithDuration({
        url: "https://api.github.com/users",
        headers: {
            'User-Agent': 'Example'
        },
        timeout: 500
    }), (err, res) => {
        if(err) {
            console.error(err);
        } else {
            console.log(res.duration);
        }
});

The result of the above should look similar to

{ 
    "dnsLookup": 62.253469,
    "tcpConnection": 20.589025,
    "tlsHandshake": 44.643525,
    "firstByte": 490.091997,
    "contentTransfer": 15.480998,
    "total": 633.059014
}

You can also use it with async and await requestWithDuration() or requestWithDuration().then()

(async () => {
    try {
        const resp = await requestWithDuration(
            {
              url: "https://api.github.com/users",
              headers: {
                "User-Agent": "Example"
              },
              timeout: 500
            },
        );
        console.log(resp.duration)
    } catch(err) {
        console.error(err)
    }
})()

The result of the above should look similar to

{ 
    "dnsLookup": 62.253469,
    "tcpConnection": 20.589025,
    "tlsHandshake": 44.643525,
    "firstByte": 490.091997,
    "contentTransfer": 15.480998,
    "total": 633.059014
}
