mockPerformance()

mockPerformance(overrides?): MockPerformanceResult

Creates a mock performance object on globalThis for Node.js tests.

note

Always call restore() for cleanup. Auto-restored after each test if forgotten.

---

Parameters

overrides?: Partial<Performance> = {}

Properties to override on the mock performance.

---

Returns: MockPerformanceResult

Object containing the mock performance and restore function.

---

Since

2.0.0

---

Example

const { performance, restore } = mockPerformance({
  now: vi.fn(() => 12345),
});
expect(performance.now()).toBe(12345);
restore();

Use Cases

Control timing 📌

Mock performance.now() to return deterministic timestamps. Critical for testing animations, timeouts, or performance markers.

#control#timing#performance#deterministic#timestamps#testing

const { restore } = mockPerformance({
  now: () => 1000
});
const time = performance.now(); // Always 1000
restore();

Test duration calculations

Verify elapsed time logic with predictable values.

#test#duration#elapsed#time#calculations#predictable

let time = 0;
const { restore } = mockPerformance({
  now: () => time
});

const start = performance.now();
time = 500;
const elapsed = performance.now() - start;

expect(elapsed).toBe(500);
restore();
