# right-now [](http://github.com/hughsk/stability-badges) #
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Get the quickest, most high-resolution timestamp possible in node or the
|
||
|
|
browser.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Instead of returning the date, `right-now` may use `performance.now`,
|
||
|
|
`Date.now`, `+new Date` or `process.hrtime` to get a timestamp suitable for
|
||
|
|
measuring intervals of time. Handy for both animation loops and precision
|
||
|
|
benchmarking.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It's pretty small but saves me writing this boilerplate every time :)

## Installation ##
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``` bash
|
||
|
|
npm install right-now
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage ##
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `require('right-now')()` ###
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Returns a timestamp. In node, this uses `process.hrtime`. In the browser,
|
||
|
|
support for the following is checked in this order:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `performance.now()`
|
||
|
|
* `Date.now()`
|
||
|
|
* `+new Date`
