Small timing library. Useful to integrate into libraries that have multiple
methods. Works both in the browser and Node. To use this in Node, make sure you
are using v8.5.0 or greater.

Usage

``js
var nanotiming = require('nanotiming')
// require 'perf_hooks' for Node environment
// var performance = require('perf_hooks').performance

var timing = nanotiming('my-loop') // Start profiling

var i = 1000
while (--i) console.log(i)

// Stop profiling
timing()

// in the browser
var timings = window.performance.getEntries()
var timing = timings[timings.length - 1]
console.log(timing.name, timing.duration) // log the last entry
window.performance.clearMeasures(timing.name) // be a good citizen and free after use

// in Node
var timings = performance.getEntries()
var timing = timings[timings.length - 1]
console.log(timing.name, timing.duration) // log the last entry
performance.clearMeasures(timing.name) // be a good citizen and free after use
`

Timing names


Timings inside the view are appended with a unique UUID so they can be cleared
individually. While there's no strict format for timing formats, we recommend
using a format along these lines:
`txt
choo.render [12356778]
choo.route('/') [13355671]
choo.emit('log:debug') [13355675]
`

Disabling timings

Performance timers are still a somewhat experimental technology. While they're
a great idea conceptually, there might be bugs. To disable timings complete, in
the browser set:
`js
window.localStorage.DISABLE_NANOTIMING = true
`
Alternatively, in Node set:
`js
process.env.DISABLE_NANOTIMING = true
`

API

$3

Start a new timing.

$3

The unique ID created for the timing.

$3

Close the timing. Measuring the timing is done inside a requestIdleCallback()
(browser) or setTimeout` (node) tick, so it might not be available
immediately. If a callback is passed it will be called with an error (if
measuring wasn't successful) and the timing's name.
