Installation

[](#installation)

`composer require zwynch/timer`

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

This very simple library can be used to benchmark execution times of your code, or simply whenever you need a stopwatch.

Basic usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

You can retrieve duration between the timer start and stop.

```
$timer = new Timer();
$timer->start();
sleep(1);
$timer->stop();
echo $timer->getDuration(); // 1.0234
```

Checkpoints
-----------

[](#checkpoints)

You can create custom checkpoints whenever and retrieve the elapsed time until the checkpoint was reached.

```
$timer = new Timer();
$timer->start();
$timer->createCheckpoint('foo');
$timer->stop();

$timer->getStartTime(); // returns start time in microseconds
$timer->getStopTime(); // returns stop time

$timer->getCheckpoint('start'); // returns start time
$timer->getCheckpoint('stop'); // returns stop time
$timer->getCheckpoint('foo'); // returns time of the checkpoint foo
```

Duration between checkpoints
----------------------------

[](#duration-between-checkpoints)

You can measure duration between the checkpoints.

```
$timer = new Timer();
$timer->createCheckpoint('foo');
sleep(1);
$timer->createCheckpoint('bar');

// returns time elapsed since checkpoint foo till now
$timer->getDuration('foo');
// returns duration between checkpoints foo and bar
$timer->getDuration('foo', 'bar');

$timer->stop();
// returns time between checkpoints foo and stop
$timer->getDuration('foo');
```
