javascript take time code example

Example 1: time taken for a function javascript

console.time("timer");   //start time with name = timer
console.timeEnd("timer"); //end timer and log time difference

Example 2: javascript get time

// these are the most useful ones IMO
var time = new Date();
time.getDate(); // returns value 1-31 for day of the month
time.getDay(); //returns value 0-6 for day of the week
time.getFullYear(); //returns a 4 digit value for the current year
time.getHours(); //returns value 0-23 for the current hour
time.getMinutes(); //returns value 0-59 for the current minute of the hour
time.getSeconds(); //returns value 0-59 for current second of the minute
time.getMilliseconds(); //returns value 0-999 for current ms of the second
time.getTime(); //returns date as ms since Jan 1, 1970
time.toDateString(); //returns a string (e.g. "Fri May 9 2020")
time.toLocaleString(); //returns date and time (e.g. "9/12/2015, 6:08:25 PM")
time.toLocaleTimeString(); //returns time (e.g. "6:08:25 PM")
time.toLocaleDateString(); //returns date (e.g. "9/12/2015")

Example 3: javascript time execution

var t0 = performance.now();

doSomething();   // <---- The function you're measuring time for 

var t1 = performance.now();
console.log("Call to doSomething took " + (t1 - t0) + " milliseconds.");

Example 4: javascript get Time

var d=new Date();
d.getTime();//I'm in milliseconds, divide by 1000 for seconds
