# right-now [](http://github.com/hughsk/stability-badges) #
Get the quickest, most high-resolution timestamp possible in node or the
browser.
Instead of returning the date, `right-now` may use `performance.now`,
`Date.now`, `+new Date` or `process.hrtime` to get a timestamp suitable for
measuring intervals of time. Handy for both animation loops and precision
benchmarking.
It's pretty small but saves me writing this boilerplate every time :)
## Installation ##
``` bash
npm install right-now
```
## Usage ##
### `require('right-now')()` ###
Returns a timestamp. In node, this uses `process.hrtime`. In the browser,
support for the following is checked in this order:
* `performance.now()`
* `Date.now()`
* `+new Date`
