Stopwatch
=========

[](#stopwatch)

Install: `composer require giraffesummer/stopwatch`

Time your functions, commands and tasks stopwatch style using this package.

It's build with Laravel (9) in mind, but it *might* work without it.

It's super easy to get started, there's only 3 functions:

Getting started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

You can start using the stopwatch by creating a new instance of it.

import `GiraffeSummer\Stopwatch\Stopwatch`

```
use GiraffeSummer\Stopwatch\Stopwatch;

$sw = new Stopwatch();
```

### Functions

[](#functions)

The functions Start and Lap will return a formatted time string.

#### Start

[](#start)

Start will return the starting time of the stopwatch.
This should always be: `00:00:00.000`
usage:

```
$sw->start(); //00:00:00.000
```

#### Lap

[](#lap)

Lap is equivalent to the lap button on a stopwatch,
this will show the current elapsed time of the stopwatch,
since it was started or reset.
usage:

```
$sw->lap(); //00:00:05.9547
```

#### Reset

[](#reset)

Reset will reset the time back to 0.
usage:

```
$sw->reset();
```

### Example

[](#example)

here's an example of it all together.

```
$sw = new Stopwatch();
echo $sw->start();
$sleep = rand(1, 5);
echo "sleep: " . $sleep;
sleep($sleep);
echo $sw->lap();
```

This will sleep for a random number of seconds between 1 and 5, and lap before and after to see how long it was.
