Stopwatch for PHP & Laravel

Easily profile of parts of your application/code and measure the performance to expose the bottlenecks

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require sandermuller/stopwatch

Usage

Start the stopwatch

use SanderMuller\Stopwatch\Stopwatch;

$stopwatch = Stopwatch::start();

Add a lap/checkpoint

use SanderMuller\Stopwatch\Stopwatch;

$stopwatch = Stopwatch::start();

$stopwatch->checkpoint('First checkpoint');
// Or
$stopwatch->lap('Second checkpoint');

Display the total run duration

use SanderMuller\Stopwatch\Stopwatch;

$stopwatch = Stopwatch::start();

// Do something

echo $stopwatch->toString();
// or
echo (string) $stopwatch;
// Echoes something like: 116ms

Render as HTML

Render a neat HTML output showing the total execution time, each checkpoint and the time between each checkpoint.

The checkpoints that took up most of the time will be highlighted.

use SanderMuller\Stopwatch\Stopwatch;

$stopwatch = Stopwatch::start();

// Do something

$stopwatch->checkpoint('First checkpoint');

// Do something more

$stopwatch->checkpoint('Second checkpoint');

echo $stopwatch->toHtml();
// Or in Laravel
{{ $stopwatch }}

Manually stop the stopwatch

You can manually stop the stopwatch, but it will also stop automatically when the Stopwatch output is used (e.g. when you echo the Stopwatch object or call ->totalRunDuration()).

use SanderMuller\Stopwatch\Stopwatch;

$stopwatch = Stopwatch::start();

// Do something

$stopwatch->stop();

// Do something you don't want to measure

// Finally render the output
echo $stopwatch->toHtml();
