# SchwadPerformanceLogger

This gem allows you to track memory usage and time passage during the life of
the SchwadPerformanceLogger object, as well as deltas between each check. The output
is `puts`'d to the console, and it also writes to a long-running CSV and per-object
log file in `logs/schwad_performance_logger`

**THIS GEM IS IN DEVELOPMENT**: Major 'todo' left is to ensure that CSV and logger
elements actually write to user's root directory and not the gem's.

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'schwad_performance_logger'
```

And then execute:

    $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

    $ gem install schwad_performance_logger

## Usage

`pl = SchwadPerformanceLogger.new`

```
**********************************************************************
Starting initialization. Current memory: 12(Mb), difference of 0 (mb) since beginning and difference of 0 since last log. time passed: 0.004678 seconds, time since last run: 0.004678
**********************************************************************
```

Each subsequent log:

`pl.log_performance("Test memo")`

```
*********************************************************************
Starting Test memo. Current memory: 12(Mb), difference of 0 (mb) since beginning and difference of 0 since last log. time passed: 22.493993 seconds, time since last run: 9.616874
*********************************************************************
```

### Options

To disable any of the outputs:

`SchwadPerformanceLogger.new({puts: false, log: false, csv: false})`

To have the logger 'pause' a number of seconds during the `puts` logging so that
you can actually see the log as it goes by. This does not affect the 'time' measurement:

`SchwadPerformanceLogger.new({pause: 8})`


## Development

After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake spec` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
