static Class Profiler

Profiles functions in JavaScript.

Methods

clear

static Void clear ( name )
Removes all report data from the profiler.
Parameters:
name <String> (Optional) The name of the report to clear. If omitted, then all report data is cleared.

getAverage

static float getAverage ( name )
Returns the average amount of time (in milliseconds) that the function with the given name takes to execute.
Parameters:
name <String> The name of the function whose data should be returned. If an object type method, it should be 'constructor.prototype.methodName'; a normal object method would just be 'object.methodName'.
Returns: float
The average time it takes the function to execute.

getCallCount

static int getCallCount ( name )
Returns the number of times that the given function has been called.
Parameters:
name <String> The name of the function whose data should be returned.
Returns: int
The number of times the function was called.

getFullReport

static Object getFullReport ( )
Returns an object containing profiling data for all of the functions that were profiled. The object has an entry for each function and returns all information (min, max, average, calls, etc.) for each function.
Returns: Object
An object containing all profile data.

getFunctionReport

static Object getFunctionReport ( )
Returns an object containing profiling data for a single function. The object has an entry for min, max, avg, calls, and points).
Returns: Object
An object containing profile data for a given function.
Deprecated Use getReport() instead.

getMax

static float getMax ( name )
Returns the maximum amount of time (in milliseconds) that the function with the given name takes to execute.
Parameters:
name <String> The name of the function whose data should be returned. If an object type method, it should be 'constructor.prototype.methodName'; a normal object method would just be 'object.methodName'.
Returns: float
The maximum time it takes the function to execute.

getMin

static float getMin ( name )
Returns the minimum amount of time (in milliseconds) that the function with the given name takes to execute.
Parameters:
name <String> The name of the function whose data should be returned. If an object type method, it should be 'constructor.prototype.methodName'; a normal object method would just be 'object.methodName'.
Returns: float
The minimum time it takes the function to execute.

getOriginal

static Function|Object getOriginal ( name )
Returns the uninstrumented version of a function/object.
Parameters:
name <String> The name of the function/object to retrieve.
Returns: Function|Object
The uninstrumented version of a function/object.

getReport

static Object getReport ( )
Returns an object containing profiling data for a single function. The object has an entry for min, max, avg, calls, and points).
Returns: Object
An object containing profile data for a given function.

instrument

static Function instrument ( name , method )
Instruments a method to have profiling calls.
Parameters:
name <String> The name of the report for the function.
method <Function> The function to instrument.
Returns: Function
An instrumented version of the function.

pause

static Void pause ( name )
Pauses profiling information for a given name.
Parameters:
name <String> The name of the data point.

registerConstructor

static Void registerConstructor ( name , owner )
Sets up a constructor for profiling, including all properties and methods on the prototype.
Parameters:
name <string> The fully-qualified name of the function including namespace information.
owner <Object> (Optional) The object that owns the function (namespace or containing object).

registerFunction

static Void registerFunction ( name , owner , registerPrototype )
Sets up a function for profiling. It essentially overwrites the function with one that has instrumentation data. This method also creates an entry for the function in the profile report. The original function is stored on the container object.
Parameters:
name <String> The full name of the function including namespacing. This is the name of the function that is stored in the report.
owner <Object> (Optional) The object that owns the function. If the function isn't global then this argument is required. This could be the namespace that the function belongs to or the object on which it's a method.
registerPrototype <Boolean> (Optional) Indicates that the prototype should also be instrumented. Setting to true has the same effect as calling registerConstructor().

registerObject

static Void registerObject ( name , owner , recurse )
Sets up an object for profiling. It takes the object and looks for functions. When a function is found, registerMethod() is called on it. If set to recrusive mode, it will also setup objects found inside of this object for profiling, using the same methodology.
Parameters:
name <String> The name of the object to profile (shows up in report).
owner <Object> (Optional) The object represented by the name.
recurse <Boolean> (Optional) Determines if subobject methods are also profiled.

start

static Void start ( name )
Start profiling information for a given name. The name cannot be the name of a registered function or object. This is used to start timing for a particular block of code rather than instrumenting the entire function.
Parameters:
name <String> The name of the data point.

stop

static Void stop ( name )
Stops profiling information for a given name.
Parameters:
name <String> The name of the data point.

unregisterFunction

static Void unregisterFunction ( name )
Removes a constructor function from profiling. Reverses the registerConstructor() method.
Parameters:
name <String> The full name of the function including namespacing. This is the name of the function that is stored in the report.

unregisterObject

static Void unregisterObject ( name , recurse )
Unregisters an object for profiling. It takes the object and looks for functions. When a function is found, unregisterMethod() is called on it. If set to recrusive mode, it will also unregister objects found inside of this object, using the same methodology.
Parameters:
name <String> The name of the object to unregister.
recurse <Boolean> (Optional) Determines if subobject methods should also be unregistered.
