Profiles functions in JavaScript.

Properties

_container - private static Object

Container object on which to put the original unprofiled methods.

_report - private static Object

Call information for functions.

Methods

_saveData

private static Void _saveData ( name , duration )
Called when a method ends execution. Marks the start and end time of the method so it can calculate how long the function took to execute. Also updates min/max/avg calculations for the function.
Parameters:
name <String> The name of the function to mark as stopped.
duration <int> The number of milliseconds it took the function to execute.
Returns: Void

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.

getMax

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

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.

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).
Returns: Void

registerFunction

Void registerFunction ( name , owner )
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, such as YAHOO.util.Dom, or the object on which it's a method.
Returns: Void

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.
Returns: Void

unregisterFunction

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.
Returns: Void

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.
Returns: Void
