event-loop-ticks

Get current event loop tick number. For educational purposes.

Usage no npm install needed!

<script type="module">
  import eventLoopTicks from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/event-loop-ticks';
</script>

Packge will tell current number of executed event loop tick.

Numeration starts from 0.

For educational purposes only, do not use on production due to increased CPU usage.

TS:

import { tickNum } from 'event-loop-ticks';
console.log(tickNum());

JS:

const { tickNum } = require('event-loop-ticks');
console.log(tickNum());

It is useful only to check if part of code were executed in the same or other tick.

Library is constantly 'spinning' in event lopp, so waiting for long timeout will cause tickNum() to return big values.
