Like `performance.now()` but in nanoseconds.
npm install precise-now
Likeperformance.now()
but in nanoseconds.
Although the value is always in nanoseconds, the
time resolution might be less
precise. For example, in Node.js, it is 1ns, but in Firefox it is 1ms and in
Chrome it is 0.1ms.
``js
import preciseNow from 'precise-now'
const start = preciseNow()
const end = preciseNow()
const duration = end - start
`
`bash`
npm install precise-now
This package works in both Node.js >=18.18.0 and
browsers.
This is an ES module. It must be loaded using
an import or import() statement,
not require(). If TypeScript is used, it must be configured to
output ES modules,
not CommonJS.
_Return value_: number
Return the number of nanoseconds since the
time origin.
- time-resolution: Find the
system's time resolution
