barbell's Introduction

๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€ Barbell ๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€โ™€๏ธ

Easily benchmark your code's performance via CLI using similar (but different) interface to Jest.

Uses Benchmark JS under the hood.

Why?

I wanted something like Jest but for performance testing:

  • It's good to test how performant your code is within an isolated JS environment.
  • Helps developers to be aware of how slow/fast their code is.
  • Set expectations on code performance to see if your code meets them (see v0.2.0 To do).

Note: Barbell performs tests within a Node.JS environment, not within a browser. If you want to test within a browser, use Benchmark JS or jsPerf (see v0.2.0 To do).

Installation

# npm
npm i barbell --save-dev

# yarn
yarn add barbell --dev

Usage

Create <filename>.bench.js files within your codebase (if you like you can put it in a __benches__ directory too).

Each bench file can contain benchmark test suites and individual tests. Think of a suite as a group of tests that you want to compare, whereas a single stand-alone test would just be for getting an idea of its performance.

// __benches__/example.bench.js

const functionToTest = (...inputs) => {
  return inputs.reduce((acc, input) => acc + input, 0);
};

suite("some code I want to test", () => {
  test("test variant #1", () => {
    functionToTest(1, 2);
  });

  test("test variant #2", () => {
    functionToTest(1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32);
  });

  test("test variant #3", () => {
    functionToTest(1000000, 2000000, 3000000, 4000000, 5000000);
  });
});

Then run barbell (or npx barbell) in your terminal to see your results:

Barbell in action

CLI options

There are some configuration options available on the CLI:

> barbell -h
Usage: barbell [testMatch...] [options]

Options:
  -V, --version                       output the version number
  -c, --config <path>                 Set path to config file
  -t, --test-match <globPatterns...>  Set the test match glob(s) to detect
                                      benchmark tests or test file paths
                                      (default: [
                                        "**/__benches__/**/*(.bench)?.[tj]s",
                                        "**/*.bench.[tj]s"
                                      ])
  -e, --exclude <globPatterns...>     Exclude specific files and folders
                                      (default: ["**/node_modules/**/*"])
  -C, --concurrent                    The number of benches you want to run
                                      at the same time
                                      (default: 2)
  -x, --stop-on-errors                Stop Barbell if any errors are found
                                      within test suites
                                      (default: false)
  -v, --verbose                       Verbose mode (outputs config settings)
                                      (default: false)
  -r, --runner <nameOrPath>           Name or path to test runner
                                      (default: barbell-runner)
  -R, --reporter <nameOrPath>         Name or path to test reporter
                                      (default: barbell-reporter)
  -h, --help                          output usage information

Examples

Note: always wrap globs with quote marks!

# Find and run test suite files with default config
> barbell "**/__benches__/**/*.bench.js"

# Specify multiple test match glob patterns
> barbell -t "**/__benches__/**.*.bench.js" -t "**/__tests__/**/*.bench.js"

# Run a single test file with default config
> barbell "./__benches__/example.bench.js"

# Specify a config file
> barbell -c "./barbell.config.js"

Configuration

Aside from the CLI options, you can also configure via an external barbell.config.* file (supported file formats are js, json, yml and yaml).

Barbell will automatically detect and use the barbell.config.* file that's in the current working directory, unless you specify a specific path to another.

module.exports = {
  // The root directory where barbell is running the benches
  rootDir: process.cwd(),

  // The glob patterns to find bench files or specific bench files to run
  // See npm module `glob` for more info
  testMatch: ["**/__benches__/**/*(.bench)?.[tj]s", "**/*.bench.[tj]s"],

  // Glob patterns or paths of files/folders to exclude from running
  // See npm module `glob`'s option `exclude` for more info
  exclude: ["**/node_modules/**/*"],

  // The maximum number of benches to run at the same time
  concurrent: 2,

  // Stop barbell if any errors in test suites occur
  stopOnErrors: false,

  // Verbose mode (outputs config settings)
  verbose: false,

  // Advanced: the package name, script path or custom function to run bench files with
  // See ./lib/runner.ts for more info
  runner: "barbell-runner",

  // Advanced: the package name, script path or custom function to output a report
  // See ./lib/reporter.ts for more info
  reporter: "barbell-reporter",

  // Advanced: extra configuration for the reporter.
  // See ./lib/reporter.ts for more info
  reporterConfig: {},
};

Development

To download external dependencies:

  npm i

To run tests (using Jest):

  npm run test

To run benchmark tests:
