Syntax
var observer = new PerformanceObserver(callback);
Parameters
callback- A
PerformanceObserverCallbackcallback that will be invoked when observed performance events are recorded. When the callback is invoked, its first parameter is a list of performance observer entries and the second parameter is theobserverobject.
Return value
A new PerformanceObserver object which will call the specified callback when observed performance events occur.
Example
var observer = new PerformanceObserver(function(list, obj) {
var entries = list.getEntries();
for (var i=0; i < entries.length; i++) {
// Process "mark" and "frame" events
}
});
observer.observe({entryTypes: ["mark", "frame"]});
function perf_observer(list, observer) {
// Process the "measure" event
}
var observer2 = new PerformanceObserver(perf_observer);
observer2.observe({entryTypes: ["measure"]});
