Find the process's time resolution.

The time resolution is a combination of multiple software and hardware factors. This finds it by creating many timestamps in a row and computing their common denominator.

Example

import timeResolution from 'time-resolution'

const resolution = timeResolution()

Install

npm install time-resolution

This package works in both Node.js >=18.18.0 and browsers.

This is an ES module. It must be loaded using an import or import() statement, not require(). If TypeScript is used, it must be configured to output ES modules, not CommonJS.

API

timeResolution()

Return value: number

Returns the system's time resolution, in nanoseconds.
