TimeWarden is a lightweight PHP library that allows you to monitor the processing time of tasks (useful during the development stage and debugging) and also lets you set estimated execution times for tasks, enabling reactive actions when tasks exceed their estimated duration.
TimeWarden is framework-agnostic, meaning it's not exclusive to any particular framework. It can seamlessly integrate into any PHP application, whether they utilize frameworks like Laravel (🧡), Symfony, or operate without any framework at all.
You can specify an estimated execution time for each task and set an action to be performed when the time is exceeded (example: send an email, add an entry to the error log, etc.).
timeWarden()->task('Checking articles')->start();
foreach ($articles as $article) {
// Perform long process... 🕒
}
// Using traditional anonymous function
timeWarden()->stop(static function (Task $task): void {
$task->onExceedsMilliseconds(500, static function (Task $task): void {
// Do what you need, for example, send an email 🙂
Mail::to('[email protected]')->queue(
new SlowArticleProcess($task)
);
});
});
// Or using an arrow function
timeWarden()->stop(static function (Task $task): void {
$task->onExceedsMilliseconds(500, fn (Task $task) => Log::error($task->name.' has taken too long'));
});If you're not convinced about using onExceedsMilliseconds, you have other options:
$task->onExceedsSeconds(10, function () { ... });
$task->onExceedsMinutes(5, function () { ... });
$task->onExceedsHours(2, function () { ... });It allows you to measure the execution time of tasks in your application, as well as the possibility of adding those tasks to a group.
timeWarden()->task('Articles task');
foreach ($articles as $article) {
// Perform long process...
}
// Previous task is automatically stopped when a new task is created
timeWarden()->task('Customers task');
foreach ($customers as $customer) {
// Perform long process...
}
/**
* You can print the results directly or obtain a
* summary with the `getSummary()` method
*/

If your application has any logging system, it would be a perfect place to send the output.
if (app()->environment('local')) {
Log::debug(timeWarden()->output());
}You can use TimeWarden either with the aliases timeWarden() (or timewarden()):
timeWarden()->task('Task 1')->start();or by directly invoking the static methods of the TimeWarden facade:
TimeWarden::task('Task 1')->start();You decide how to use it 🙂
TimeWarden is composed of several types of elements. Below are some features of each of these elements.
Tomloprod\TimeWarden\Support\Facades\TimeWarden is a facade that acts as a simplified interface for using the rest of the TimeWarden elements.
Most methods in this class return their own instance, allowing fluent syntax through method chaining.
// Destroys the TimeWarden instance and returns a new one.
TimeWarden::reset(): TimeWarden
// Creates a new group.
TimeWarden::group(string $groupName): TimeWarden
/**
* Creates a new task inside the last created group
* or within the TimeWarden instance itself.
*/
TimeWarden::task(string $taskName): TimeWarden
// Starts the last created task
TimeWarden::start(): TimeWarden
// Stops the last created task
TimeWarden::stop(): TimeWarden
// Obtains all the created groups
TimeWarden::getGroups(): array
/**
* It allows you to obtain a TimeWardenSummary instance,
* which is useful for getting a summary of all groups
* and tasks generated by TimeWarden.
*
* Through that instance, you can retrieve the summary
* in array or string (JSON) format.
*/
TimeWarden::getSummary(): TimeWardenSummary;
/**
* Returns a table with execution time debugging info
* (ideal for displaying in the console).
*/
TimeWarden::output(): stringAdditionally, it has all the methods of the Taskable interface.
All tasks you create are instances of Tomloprod\TimeWarden\Task.
The most useful methods and properties of a task are the following:
name
$task = new Task('Task 1');
$task->start(): void
$task->stop(?callable $fn = null): void
// Returns the duration of the task in a human-readable format. Example: *1day 10h 20min 30sec 150ms*
$task->getFriendlyDuration(): string
// Returns the duration of the task in milliseconds
$task->getDuration(): float
// Returns the taskable element to which the task belongs.
$task->getTaskable(): ?Taskable
$task->hasStarted(): bool
$task->hasEnded(): bool
$task->getStartDateTime(): ?DateTimeImmutable
$task->getEndDateTime(): ?DateTimeImmutable
$task->getStartTimestamp(): float
$task->getEndTimestamp(): float
/** @return array<string, mixed> */
$task->toArray(): array
// Reactive execution time methods
$task->onExceedsMilliseconds(float $milliseconds, callable $fn): ?Task
$task->onExceedsSeconds(float $seconds, callable $fn): ?Task
$task->onExceedsMinutes(float $minutes, callable $fn): ?Task
$task->onExceedsHours(float $hours, callable $fn): ?TaskAll groups you create are instances of the Tomloprod\TimeWarden\Group object.
The most useful methods and properties of a group are the following:
name
// Starts the last created task inside this group
$group->start(): voidAdditionally, it has all the methods of the Taskable interface.
Tomloprod\TimeWarden\Contracts\Taskable is the interface used by the TimeWarden instance as well as by each task group
// Create a new task within the taskable.
$taskable->createTask(string $taskName): Task;
$taskable->getTasks(): array;
$taskable->getLastTask(): ?Task;
// Return the total time in milliseconds of all tasks within the taskable.
$taskable->getDuration(): float;
$taskable->toArray(): array;
$taskable->toJson(): string;Tomloprod\TimeWarden\TimeWardenSummary is a class that allows obtaining a general summary of groups and their tasks generated with TimeWarden.
It is useful for obtaining a summary in array or string (JSON) format.
You can obtain an instance of TimeWardenSummary as follows:
/** @var Tomloprod\TimeWarden\TimeWardenSummary $timeWardenSummary */
$timeWardenSummary = timeWarden()->getSummary();$timeWardenSummary->toArray(): array;
$timeWardenSummary->toJson(): string;Here is an example of the data returned in array format:
$summaryArray = [
[
'name' => 'default',
'duration' => 42.0,
'tasks' => [
