Running Benchmarks

Example example.perf.mjs file

import { loremIpsum } from 'lorem-ipsum';
import { suite } from 'perf-insight';
// Use 2 seconds as the default timeout for tests in the suite.
// The `--timeout` option can override this value.
const defaultTimeout = 2000;
// ts-check
suite('map', 'Measure .map performance with different functions', async (test) => {
  let knownWords = [];
  test.beforeAll(() => {
    knownWords = loremIpsum({ count: 10000, units: 'words' }).split(' ');
  });
  test('map((a) => a.length)', () => {
    return knownWords.map((a) => a.length);
  });
  test('.map((a) => { return a.length; })', () => {
    return knownWords.map((a) => {
      return a.length;
    });
  });
  test('.map(Boolean)', () => {
    return knownWords.map(Boolean);
  });
  test('.map((a) => !a.length)', () => {
    return knownWords.map((a) => !a.length);
  });
  test('.map((a) => { return !a.length; })', () => {
    return knownWords.map((a) => {
      return !a.length;
    });
  });
}).setTimeout(defaultTimeout); // set the default timeout for this suite.

Example Output:

npx perf-insight exampleMap.perf.mjs --timeout 500

TypeScript Support

It is necessary to register a TypeScript loader like ts-node.

Usage:

npx perf-insight --file "**/*.perf.mts" --timeout 500 --register ts-node/esm
