time-taken-to's Introduction

time-taken-to

A simple idea I came up with while working on something else. Seemed like a fun mini-project, so decided to package it xD

Installation

npm i -g time-taken-to

This installs the binary to PATH after which it can be accessed either using time-taken-to or ttt.

Alternatively, can be run using npx without local installation.

Usage

⚠️ If your command is interactive (requires runtime input), time-taken-to will stall and not do anything. This case is currently not handled and will be fixed in a later patch.
🟢 Hence if interactive, hard-code your command.

time-taken-to [OPTIONS] <your_command>

Measures the time taken to execute <your_command>.

ttt [OPTIONS] <your_command>

Also does the same thing.

Using npx,

npx time-taken-to <your_command>

<your_command> must be specified as a string if it consists of more than one word.

$ ttt "ls -s"

is different from

$ ttt ls -s

Options

The various available options can be viewed by running

ttt -h

--round-to or -r - Rounds off the result to the number of digits provided as argument. The default value is 6.
--show-stdou or -s - If specified, ttt also displays the stdout produced by the command.
--iterations or -i - Runs the command for the specified number of times and returns the average for a more accurate result. Default is 1.
--version or -v - Displays current version of time-taken-to.
--help or -h - Displays the help page.
