Laravel Timer

Packagist

A modern, high-resolution monotonic timer for Laravel applications. Perfect for benchmarking, performance measurement, and precise timing operations.

Features

🚀 High-resolution timing using hrtime()
⏱️ Multiple time units (seconds, milliseconds, microseconds, nanoseconds)
🎯 Type-safe with PHP 8.3+ enums
📊 Laravel service provider & facade support
✅ 90%+ test coverage
🔒 Strict types throughout

Requirements

PHP 8.3 or higher
Laravel 12.x

Installation

Install via Composer:

composer require shawnlindstrom/laravel-timer

The package will automatically register itself via Laravel's package discovery.

Usage

Basic Usage

use shawnlindstrom\LaravelTimer\Timer;
use shawnlindstrom\LaravelTimer\TimeUnit;

$timer = new Timer;
$timer->start();

// Your code to benchmark
sleep(2);

$timer->stop();

echo $timer->elapsed(); // Returns: 2 (default is seconds)

Different Time Units

$timer = new Timer;
$timer->start();

// Your code here...

$timer->stop();

// Get elapsed time in different units
$seconds = $timer->elapsed(TimeUnit::SECOND);           // 2
$microseconds = $timer->elapsed(TimeUnit::MICROSECOND); // 2000
$milliseconds = $timer->elapsed(TimeUnit::MILLISECOND); // 2000000
$nanoseconds = $timer->elapsed(TimeUnit::NANOSECOND);   // 2000000000

Using the Facade

use shawnlindstrom\LaravelTimer\TimerFacade as Timer;
use shawnlindstrom\LaravelTimer\TimeUnit;

Timer::start();

// Your code to benchmark...

Timer::stop();

echo Timer::elapsed(TimeUnit::MICROSECOND);

Alias Usage

If you prefer, you can use the pre-configured alias:

use Timer;
use shawnlindstrom\LaravelTimer\TimeUnit;

Timer::start();
// Your code...
Timer::stop();

echo Timer::elapsed(TimeUnit::MILLISECOND);

Reusable Measurements

The timer can be reused for multiple measurements:

$timer = new Timer;

// First measurement
$timer->start();
performTask1();
$timer->stop();
$time1 = $timer->elapsed();

// Second measurement
$timer->start();
performTask2();
$timer->stop();
$time2 = $timer->elapsed();
