Detector APIs Extension

API Monitor

Chrome Developer Tools [API 🔎] panel tries to gather every bit of useful information from the usage of certain native functions that are prone to human errors, or are difficult to spot intuitively. Motivation To assess Web Application implementation correctness and expedite issues discovery. See examples at https://github.com/zendive/browser-api-monitor/doc/issues.log.md Functionality - Gather callstack that is used to call every wrapped function: - short - just the nearest initiator. - full - from the root to the nearest initiator (from left to right). - Aggregate information about currently scheduled timeouts and running active intervals. - Gather details about which terminators are cancelling certain scheduled setters. - Allow to initiate a debugging session by redirecting the code flow to a `debugger` breakpoint right before the callback invocation. - Hit F11 (step inside) twice in order to progress into the callback itself. - Allow to bypass (skip) setter's callback, or terminator invocation function. - Detect anomalies in passed arguments such as: - Passing incorrect timeout delay to `setTimeout`, `setInterval`, `requestIdleCallback`. - Correct one is `undefined` or a number that is greater or equal to `0`. - Invoking terminator function with handler that is non-positive integer, or of non-existent or already elapsed setter. - Measure callback's execution self-time. - Warn if it exceeds 4/5 (13.33ms) of 60 FPS hardcoded frame-rate (16.66ms). - Count calls per second (CPS) when applicable. - Detect `eval` function usage in runtime, as well as `setTimeout` and `setInterval` when called with a `string` callback instead of a `function`. - By default - off, cause the fact of wrapping it, excludes the access to local scope variables from the `eval` script, and as a result, may break the application if it does depend on it. - Monitor Worker's methods and event handlers metrics. - Warn if number of active workers exceeds number of available CPU cores. - keep in mind: extension API can't wrap `self.close()` in worker global context (only `terminate()` in top context) - Detect anomalies: - attempt to add already added listener with `addEventListener`. - attempt to remove unknown listener with `removeEventListener`. - Monitor `scheduler.yield` and `scheduler.postTask`. - Calls, delay, priority, aborts, self-time metrics. - Monitor mounted `video` and `audio` media elements in DOM. - Present control panel with basic media functions. - Show media events and number of times they have been fired. - Show current state of properties. - Allow to toggle the state of changeable boolean properties e.g. `controls`, `preservesPitch`... - Prevent the system from going to Sleep state due to user inactivity for a better observational experience. By default - off. Note: - while measuring performance of your code – consider disabling this extension as it may affect the results.
