 | |
| 
 | |
| Capture and retrieve the last time a function was run.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Usage
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| var lastRun = require('last-run');
 | |
| 
 | |
| function myFunc() {}
 | |
| 
 | |
| myFunc();
 | |
| // capture the run after (or before) calling the function
 | |
| lastRun.capture(myFunc);
 | |
| 
 | |
| // retrieve the last run time
 | |
| lastRun(myFunc);
 | |
| //-> outputs the Date.now() when capture was called
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## API
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### lastRun(fn, [timeResolution]) => [Timestamp]
 | |
| 
 | |
| Takes a function (`fn`) and returns a timestamp of the last time the function was captured.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Returns undefined if the function has not been captured.
 | |
| 
 | |
| The timestamp is always given in millisecond but the time resolution can be reduced (rounded down).
 | |
| The use case is to be able to compare a build time to a file time attribute.
 | |
| On some file systems, `fs.stat` time attributes like `mtime` might have one second precision.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### lastRun.capture(fn, [timestamp])
 | |
| 
 | |
| Takes a function (`fn`) and captures the current timestamp with `Date.now()`.
 | |
| If passed the optional timestamp, captures that time instead of `Date.now()`.
 | |
| The captured timestamp can then be retrieved using the `lastRun` function.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### lastRun.release(fn)
 | |
| 
 | |
| Takes a function (`fn`) and removes the last run timestamp for it.
