Timer
=====

[](#timer)

Timer is a PHP library for dealing with precise time measurements.

------------

[](#installation)

Use the package manager [composer](https://getcomposer.org) to install Timer.

```
composer require shiishiji/timer
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The usage is really straight forward. Firstly, create an instance of StopWatch class.

```
$timer = new StopWatch();
```

Secondly, use `start()` method to begin measurement. Use `stop()` to end measurement. Lastly `getDuration()` returns string representing measured time in nanoseconds.

```
$timer->start();
sleep(1); // perform action to be measured
$timer->stop();

$result = $timer->getDuration();
var_dump($result); // prints something like -> string(10) "1000273951"
```

Development
-----------

[](#development)

First, build image

```
docker build -t php_timer .
```

To run tests use docker

```
docker run --rm -it php_timer vendor/bin/phpunit tests
```
