This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since January 2020.
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.
The getEntries() method of the PerformanceObserverEntryList interface returns a list of explicitly observed performance entry objects. The list's members are determined by the set of entry types specified in the call to the observe() method. The list is available in the observer's callback function (as the first parameter in the callback).
getEntries()
None.
A list of explicitly observed PerformanceEntry objects. The items will be in chronological order based on the entries' startTime. If no objects are found, an empty list is returned.
The following example shows the difference between the getEntries(), getEntriesByName(), and getEntriesByType() methods.
const observer = new PerformanceObserver((list, obs) => {
// Log all entries
let perfEntries = list.getEntries();
perfEntries.forEach((entry) => {
console.log(`${entry.name}'s duration: ${entry.duration}`);
});
// Log entries named "debugging" with type "measure"
perfEntries = list.getEntriesByName("debugging", "measure");
perfEntries.forEach((entry) => {
console.log(`${entry.name}'s duration: ${entry.duration}`);
});
// Log entries with type "mark"
perfEntries = list.getEntriesByType("mark");
perfEntries.forEach((entry) => {
console.log(`${entry.name}'s startTime: ${entry.startTime}`);
});
});
// Subscribe to various performance event types
observer.observe({
entryTypes: ["mark", "measure", "navigation", "resource"],
});
