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.

Please reach out if you're looking for a Node.js API or CLI engineer (11 years of experience). Most recently I have been Netlify Build's and Netlify Plugins' technical lead for 2.5 years. I am available for full-time remote positions.

import timeResolution from 'time-resolution'

const resolution = timeResolution()

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.

Return value: number

Returns the system's time resolution, in nanoseconds.

• precise-now: Like performance.now() but in nanoseconds
