A simple trait that adds execution time tracking to your Laravel console commands. Useful for:

- Tracking how long your commands take to run
- Measuring specific operations within commands
- Debugging slow operations
- Getting timing feedback during long-running processes

[](#usage)

### Basic Usage

[](#basic-usage)

Add the trait to your command and wrap operations you want to measure:

```
use Mc0de\ConsoleTimer\ConsoleTimer;
use Illuminate\Console\Command;

class YourCommand extends Command
{
    use ConsoleTimer;

    public function handle()
    {
        $this->startCommandTimer();

        $this->measure('Processing items', function () {
            // Your processing logic
        });

        $this->displayCommandTime();
    }
}
```

### Getting Return Values

[](#getting-return-values)

```
$result = $this->measure('Fetching data', function () {
    return ['data' => 'value'];
});

// $result contains ['data' => 'value']
```

### Manual Timing

[](#manual-timing)

For operations that span multiple methods:

```
public function handle()
{
    $this->startCommandTimer();

    $this->startMeasure('Processing items');
    $this->processItems();
    $this->finishMeasure();

    $this->displayCommandTime();
}

protected function processItems()
{
    // This method is part of the measured operation
}
```
