lapwatch

Stopwatch written in TypeScript

All times are saved as DOMHighResTimeStamps, which are milliseconds accurate to 5 microseconds.

Installation

npm i lapwatch

Importing

// Node.js
import Lapwatch from 'lapwatch';

// Browser
import Lapwatch from 'https://unpkg.com/lapwatch';

Note: it is a default export, so you can freely name the import

Constructing

Simple:

const lapwatch = new Lapwatch();

Advanced:

const lapwatch = new Lapwatch({
    initial: 0,
    delay: 0
});

Note: see below for descriptions of initial and delay

Properties

lapwatch.initial - number of milliseconds added to the timer at the start
