Timeline class

Add to the timeline.

Timeline's methods add synchronous events to the timeline. When generating a timeline in Chrome's tracing format, using Timeline generates "Complete" events. Timeline's startSync and finishSync can be used explicitly, or implicitly by wrapping a closure in timeSync. For example:

Timeline.startSync("Doing Something");
doSomething();
Timeline.finishSync();

Or:

Timeline.timeSync("Doing Something", () {
  doSomething();
});

Static Methods

finishSync() → void
Finish the last synchronous operation that was started.
instantSync(String name, { Map arguments }) → void
Emit an instant event.
startSync(String name, { Map arguments, Flow flow }) → void
Start a synchronous operation labeled name. Optionally takes a Map of arguments. This slice may also optionally be associated with a Flow event. This operation must be finished before returning to the event queue.
timeSync(String name, TimelineSyncFunction function, { Map arguments, Flow flow }) → dynamic
A utility method to time a synchronous function. Internally calls function bracketed by calls to startSync and finishSync.
