Track the duration of parts of your gulp tasks
If you're a developer utilizing Gulp for task automation, you might find yourself needing a way to monitor the duration of specific tasks to optimize your workflow. Gulp-duration is a handy tool designed to help you track how long certain parts of your Gulp tasks are taking. This is especially useful in scenarios where you engage in periodic tasks and wish to enhance their efficiency without relying on gulp.watch or Gulp's task dependency system.
With Gulp-duration, you can create a seamless experience for managing task durations and gaining insights into performance, making it an indispensable addition to your development toolkit.
Stream Creation: Use duration([name]) to create a new pass-through duration stream that monitors the time taken for tasks.
Custom Naming: You can optionally provide a name for your stream, allowing for clear logging and easier identification of specific task durations in your terminal.
Time Logging: Once the stream is closed, it automatically logs the total time elapsed since the stream's creation, offering instant feedback on task performance.
Start Time Reset: By utilizing stream.start(), you can reset the "start time" of the stream, enabling you to track durations from a specific point in your task pipeline.
Simplistic Usage: Gulp-duration integrates smoothly into your existing Gulp workflows, requiring minimal changes to your current setup.
License: This tool is available under the MIT license, promoting its unrestricted use and modification within your projects.
