Tiny PHP timer utility to measure time

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
$ composer require gabrielef/timer
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Start a new timer with name and precision:

```
use gabrielef\Timer;

$t = new Timer();
$t->start('firstTimer', 3);
```

Retrieve the amount of time passed of a specific timer:

```
use gabrielef\Timer;

$t = new Timer();
$t->start('firstTimer', 3);

//...
//after 1s

echo $t->look('firstTimer'); //ex. 1.234
```

Stop the timer (this will also delete the timer):

```
use gabrielef\Timer;
$t = new Timer();
$t->start('firstTimer');

//...
//after 3s

echo $t->end('firstTimer'); //ex. 3
```

List all the available timer key:

```
use gabrielef\Timer;

$t = new Timer();
$t->start('firstTimer');
$t->start('secondTimer');
$t->start('thirdTimer');

$list = $t->list(); // ['firstTimer', 'secondTimer', 'thirdTimer]
```

Test
----

[](#test)

Currently using PHPUnit with the following command:

```
$ docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/app -w /app php:7.3-cli ./vendor/bin/phpunit --debug
```
