# require-profiler

Simple tool to figure out the tree of `require()` calls and determine how time its taking to load.

## Features
* easy to use
* no dependencies

## Installation

Install via npm.

npm install require-profiler

## Getting Started

To start profiling your `require()` calls:

```js
'use strict'

const requireProfiler = require( 'require-profiler' );

requireProfiler.capture();

// now require all your other modules that you want
// to profile

const otherModule = require( './lib/my-module' );

// disables profiling
requireProfiler.capture( false );
```

## Getting Profiler Data

After `capture( false )`, calling `get()` will provide a log of what was capture by the profiler.

```js
'use strict'

const requireProfiler = require( 'require-profiler' );

requireProfiler.capture();

// now require all your other modules that you want
// to profile

// disables profiling
requireProfiler.capture( false );

const profileData = requireProfiler.get();
```

The data is in the format:

```
{
"includes": [

// each root level module will have an object
{
"name": "/full/path/of/the/module",
"loadTime":

// child modules required by this module
]
}
]
}
```

## Indentifier

Once the profile data has been collected, the identifier can be used to filter out those modules that might be taking longer to load.

To filter out modules that are taking more than 20ms, we would use the identifier:

```js

// capture profile information here

const profileData = requireProfiler.get();

let filtered = requireProfiler.indentify( profileData )
.filterLoadTime( 30 )
.find();

// dump
console.log( JSON.stringify( filtered, null, 2 ) );
```

For format from the identifier is exactly that of the profiler, except for the fact that some items will be eliminated from not meeting the criteria.
