Deno.BenchContext - Deno documentation
interface Deno.BenchContext

Context that is passed to a benchmarked function. The instance is shared between iterations of the benchmark. Its methods can be used for example to override of the measured portion of the function.

Properties

name: string

The current benchmark name.

origin: string

The string URL of the current benchmark.

Methods

start(): void

Restarts the timer for the bench measurement. This should be called after doing setup work which should not be measured.

Warning: This method should not be used for benchmarks averaging less than 10μs per iteration. In such cases it will be disabled but the call will still have noticeable overhead, resulting in a warning.

Deno.bench("foo", async (t) => {
  const data = await Deno.readFile("data.txt");
  t.start();
  // some operation on `data`...
});
end(): void

End the timer early for the bench measurement. This should be called before doing teardown work which should not be measured.

Warning: This method should not be used for benchmarks averaging less than 10μs per iteration. In such cases it will be disabled but the call will still have noticeable overhead, resulting in a warning.

Deno.bench("foo", async (t) => {
  using file = await Deno.open("data.txt");
  t.start();
  // some operation on `file`...
  t.end();
});
