The duration property returns a timestamp that is the duration of the performance entry.
The value returned by this property depends on the performance entry's type:
This property is Read only .
A DOMHighResTimeStamp representing the duration of the performance entry. If the duration concept doesn't apply for a particular performance metric, the browser may choose to return a duration of 0.
Note: if the performance entry has an entryType of "resource" (i.e. the entry is a PerformanceResourceTiming object), this property returns the difference between the PerformanceResourceTiming.responseEnd and PerformanceEntry.startTime timestamps.
The following example shows the use of the duration property.
function run_PerformanceEntry() {
log("PerformanceEntry support ...");
if (performance.mark === undefined) {
log("... performance.mark Not supported");
return;
}
performance.mark("Begin");
do_work(50000);
performance.mark("End");
var p = performance.getEntries();
for (var i=0; i < p.length; i++) {
log("Entry[" + i + "]");
check_PerformanceEntry(p[i]);
}
}
function check_PerformanceEntry(obj) {
var properties = ["name", "entryType", "startTime", "duration"];
var methods = ["toJSON"];
for (var i=0; i < properties.length; i++) {
var supported = properties[i] in obj;
if (supported)
log("..." + properties[i] + " = " + obj[properties[i]]);
else
log("..." + properties[i] + " = Not supported");
}
for (var i=0; i < methods.length; i++) {
var supported = typeof obj[methods[i]] == "function";
if (supported) {
var js = obj[methods[i]]();
log("..." + methods[i] + "() = " + JSON.stringify(js));
} else {
log("..." + methods[i] + " = Not supported");
}
}
}
