Illuminator
===========

[](#illuminator)

A collection of simple chronometers.

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require pyrsmk/illuminator
```

Illuminator\\Chrono
-------------------

[](#illuminatorchrono)

Here's the base chrono.

```
$chrono = new Illuminator\Chrono();
// Start!
$chrono->start();
// Stop the chrono for some time...
$chrono->stop();
// Resume the chrono
$chrono->start();
// Return the time in seconds
$chrono->read();
// Reset the still running chrono
$chrono->reset();
// Return the reseted time
$chrono->read();
// Completely stop and reset the chrono
$chrono->stop();
$chrono->reset();
```

The time is returned as a [microtime](http://php.net/manual/en/function.microtime.php) float number, in seconds. You can also read it in milliseconds with:

```
$chrono->readAsMilliseconds();
```

Illuminator\\LazyChrono
-----------------------

[](#illuminatorlazychrono)

A lazy chrono that you don't need to start or whatever.

```
$chrono = new Illuminator\LazyChrono();
usleep(1000);
$chrono->read();
```

Illuminator\\TimedTask
----------------------

[](#illuminatortimedtask)

With that class, you can time a specific task.

```
$timedTask = new TimedTask(function () {
    usleep(1000);
});
$timedTask->read();
```

Note that the callback will be run each time `read()` is called.
