The sympact from simonepri

🔥 An easy way to calculate the 'impact' of running a task in Node.JS
_{Coded with ❤️ by Simone Primarosa.}

Synopsis

Sympact runs a script and profiles its execution time, CPU usage, and memory usage. Sympact then returns an execution report containing the averages of the results.

Do you believe that this is useful? Has it saved you time? Or maybe you simply like it?
If so, show your appreciation with a Star ⭐️.

How it works

sympact spawns a separate process and runs your script in an isolated node process and then collects statistics about the system's resource used by your script.

The data are collected using pidusage in combination with pidtree.
The main difference between other projects is that sympact will also "profile" processes spawned by your script or by any of its children.

Finally a report of the samples taken is computed and returned to you.

Install

npm install --save sympact

Usage

const impact = require('sympact');

const report = await impact(`
  let r = 2;
  let c = 10e7;
  while (c--) r = Math.pow(r, r);
  return r;
`, {interval: 125}); // 125 ms of sampling rate

console.log(report.times.execution.end - report.times.execution.start);
// => 2700 ms
console.log(report.stats.cpu.mean);
// => 90.45 % on my machine
console.log(report.stats.memory.mean);
// => 27903317.33 bytes on my machine

CLI

To make it more usable, a CLI is bundled with the package allowing for an aesthetically pleasing report.

  npx sympact "console.log('Hello World')"

You can even require other files.

  npx sympact "
    const {spawn} = require('child_process');
    let childno = 10;
    let childs = [];
    for (let i = 0; i < childno; i++) {
      childs.push(spawn('node', ['-e', 'setInterval(()=>{let c=10e3;while(c--);},10)']));
    }
    let c = 10e6;
    let m = {};
    while (c--)  m[c] = c;
    for (let i = 0; i < childno; i++) {
      childs[i].kill();
    }
  "

Report object

The object returned by the promise will look like this.
