This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.
The getEntriesByType()
method returns a list of explicitly observed performance entry
objects for a given performance entry type
. The list's members are determined by the set of entry types
specified in the call to the observe()
method. The list is available in the observer's callback function (as the first parameter in the callback).
This method is exposed to Window
and Worker
interfaces.
Syntax
entries = list.getEntriesByType(type);
Arguments
- type
- The type of entry to retrieve such as "
frame
". The valid entry types are listed inPerformanceEntry.entryType
.
Return value
- entries
- A list of explicitly observed
PerformanceEntry
objects that have the specifiedtype
. The items will be in chronological order based on the entries'startTime
. If no objects have the specifiedtype
, or no argument is provided, an empty list is returned.
Example
function print_perf_entry(pe) { console.log("name: " + pe.name + "; entryType: " + pe.entryType + "; startTime: " + pe.startTime + "; duration: " + pe.duration); } // Create observer for all performance event types var observe_all = new PerformanceObserver(function(list, obs) { var perfEntries; // Print all entries perfEntries = list.getEntries(); for (var i=0; i < perfEntries.length; i++) { print_perf_entry(perfEntries[i]); } // Print entries named "Begin" with type "mark" perfEntries = list.getEntriesByName("Begin", "mark"); for (var i=0; i < perfEntries.length; i++) { print_perf_entry(perfEntries[i]); } // Print entries with type "mark" perfEntries = list.getEntriesByType("mark"); for (var i=0; i < perfEntries.length; i++) { print_perf_entry(perfEntries[i]); } }); // subscribe to all performance event types observe_all.observe({entryTypes: ['frame', 'mark', 'measure', 'navigation', 'resource', 'server']}); var observe_frame = new PerformanceObserver(function(list, obs) { var perfEntries = list.getEntries(); // Should only have 'frame' entries for (var i=0; i < perfEntries.length; i++) { print_perf_entry(perfEntries[i]); } }); // subscribe to only the 'frame' event observe_frame.observe({entryTypes: ['frame']});
