How accuratly measure response time in node.js?

I have an Express API app like this. 

var express = require('express');     
const app = express();    
app.get('/api', function(req, res) {
  res.json({
      text: 'my api!' 
  });
 )
});

app.listen(8090, function () {
    console.log('App listening on port 8090');
});

I'm wondering what is the most accurate way to measure the response time ?

Solution

  • The best solution that I found (thanks to this great tutorial), is to use morgan:

    npm install morgan

    And then use it in my code like this:

    const morgan = require('morgan');


app.use(morgan('dev'));
