I have a browser extension that sends many requests to a server. I would like to measure how long each request takes. I can use console.log to output it but that makes getting statistics very difficult.
function loadXMLDoc() {
var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
var ping = new Date;
xhttp.open("GET", "http://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/blank.org/", false);
xhttp.setRequestHeader('Cache-Control', 'no-cache');
xhttp.send();
if(xhttp.status == 200) {
ping = new Date - ping;
console.log('Ping ' + ping + 'ms');
}
}
Is it possible to write ping above to a text file like this?
window.requestFileSystem =window.requestFileSystem || window.webkitRequestFileSystem;
window.requestFileSystem(window.PERSISTENT, 0, gotFS, fail);
function gotFS(fileSystem) {
console.log("gotFS is called" + fileSystem);
fileSystem.root.getFile("/data/logFile12302021", {create: true}, gotFileEntry, fail);
}
function gotFileEntry(fileEntry) {
console.log("gotFileEntry:" + fileEntry);
fileEntry.file(gotFile, fail);
}
function gotFile(file){
console.log("gotFile");
//readBinaryString(file);
readArrayBuffer(file);
}
function fail(){
console.log("log file creating failed");
}
However I found window.requestFileSytem is deprecated, and I also got window.requestFileSystem is not a function error.
Is there any other way to create and write a text file using JS inside browser extension? I'm using Edge/Chrome.
