instant type

Instant methods, to aid in debugging/timing individual pieces of the bxl script.

instant.elapsed_millis​

def instant.elapsed_millis() -> float

Elapsed time in millis as a float

Sample usage:

def _impl_elapsed_millis(ctx):
    now = now()
    time_a = now.elapsed_millis()
    # do something that takes a long time
    time_b = now.elapsed_millis()

    ctx.output.print(time_a)
    ctx.output.print(time_b)

instant.elapsed_secs​

def instant.elapsed_secs() -> float

Elapsed time in secs as a float

Sample usage:

def _impl_elapsed_secs(ctx):
    now = now()
    time_a = now.elapsed_secs()
    # do something that takes a long time
    time_b = now.elapsed_secs()

    ctx.output.print(time_a)
    ctx.output.print(time_b)
