tracelib

TraceLib

This library provides a set of models from the devtools-frontend code base in order to parse trace log files.

Note: This is early development and not ready to be consumed yet!

Installation

To install the package to your project, run:

$ npm install --save tracelib

Debug Mode

Tracelib includes detailed logging for troubleshooting trace parsing and FPS calculation. Debug mode is disabled by default to keep console output clean.

Enable Debug Logging

Via Constructor Option

import Tracelib from 'tracelib'
import TRACE_LOG from './trace.json'

const tasks = new Tracelib(TRACE_LOG, { debug: true })
const fps = tasks.getFPS()
// Debug output will be logged to console

Via Environment Variable

# Using TRACELIB_DEBUG
TRACELIB_DEBUG=true node your-script.js

# Or using DEBUG (if you use the debug pattern)
DEBUG=tracelib node your-script.js

Programmatically

import Tracelib from 'tracelib'

// Enable debug mode globally
Tracelib.setDebugMode(true)

const tasks = new Tracelib(TRACE_LOG)
const fps = tasks.getFPS()

// Disable debug mode
Tracelib.setDebugMode(false)

Check Debug Status

import Tracelib from 'tracelib'

if (Tracelib.isDebugEnabled()) {
    console.log('Debug mode is ON')
}

Usage

getSummary

Fetch total time-durations of scripting, rendering, painting from tracelogs.

import Tracelib from 'tracelib'
import JANK_TRACE_LOG from './jankTraceLog.json'

const tasks = new Tracelib(JANK_TRACE_LOG)
const summary = tasks.getSummary()
console.log(summary)

/**

 * }

getWarningCounts

Fetch amount of forced synchronous layouts and styles as well as long recurring handlers.

import Tracelib from 'tracelib'
import JANK_TRACE_LOG from './jankTraceLog.json'

const tasks = new Tracelib(JANK_TRACE_LOG)
const counts = tasks.getWarningCounts()
console.log(counts)

/**

import Tracelib from 'tracelib'
import JANK_TRACE_LOG from './jankTraceLog.json'

const tasks = new Tracelib(JANK_TRACE_LOG)
const fps = tasks.getFPS()
console.log(fps)
