a stopwatch class utility for starting, pausing, resetting and getting elapsed time in milliseconds (ms), under the hood is just comparing timestamps with Date.now().
npm install @slime/stopwatchsimple class utility for tracking amount of time elapsed in milliseconds (ms), by comparing time stamps
- version 1.1.0: added typescript type definitions for StopWatch class
- version 1.2.1: fixed bug where when stop, and resume again, the logic to calculate new time elapsed (while taking into account previous time elapsed) was wrong
- version 1.3.0: fixed bug where when initially calling .stopTimer() before subsequent calls to .startTimer() when the StopWatch object is first instantiated, it would cause the incorrect time elapsed to be returned
installation from terminal/CMD line
``
npm i @slime/stopwatch
usage:
first instantiate a new StopWatch object instance from the StopWatch class
`
const StopWatch = require("@slime/stopwatch");
let stopWatch = new StopWatch();
API to start, stop, resume, reset with:
`
stopWatch.startTimer();
stopWatch.stopTimer();
stopWatch.startTimer();
stopWatch.reset();
getters API to query number of ms elapsed and display time elapsed as minutes/seconds/ms string:
`
stopWatch.getTimeElapsedInMs; // returns number of time elapsed in ms
stopWatch.getTimeElapsedInStopWatchFormatString; // returns mins/secs/ms in 00:00:00 format
start timer and show time elapsed after 1.5 seconds
`
const StopWatch = require("@slime/stopwatch");
let stopWatch = new StopWatch();
console.log(stopWatch.getTimeElapsedInMs);
console.log(stopWatch.getTimeElapsedInStopWatchFormatString);
stopWatch.startTimer();
setTimeout(()=>{
stopWatch.stopTimer();
console.log(stopWatch.getTimeElapsedInMs);
console.log(stopWatch.getTimeElapsedInStopWatchFormatString);
}, 1500);
