browser-timings

Lib for measure client browsers performance. Automatically collects performance data on page load.

Installation

Install npm package

npm i --save @tinkoff/browser-timings

How to

import { browserTimings } from '@tinkoff/browser-timings';

window.addEventListener('load', () => {
  setTimeout(() => {
    // setTimeout is necessary in order to get metrics about loadEventEnd
    const perfData = browserTimings();
  }, 0);
});

After executing perfData will contain client performance metrics which may be send to any external system for further analysis.

Call of the library should be executed only after page load in order to get actual data. Otherwise, it may return empty object without data.
