Javascript Timer

[spinal007]

I just thought I'd share this little snippet I put together last night...

A (very) simple JavaScript timer object. I use it to help me measure how long scripts take to execute...

timer.start(); // starts counting
timer.since(); // returns elapsed time in milliseconds

The code:

Code: Select all

var timer = {
  time: 0,
  now: function(){ return (new Date()).getTime(); },
  start: function(){ this.time = this.now(); },
  since: function(){ return this.now()-this.time; }
}
