Example

The following example shows both uses of the clearMeasures() method.

// Create a small helper to show how many PerformanceMeasure entries there are.
function logMeasureCount() {
  console.log(
    "Found this many entries: " + performance.getEntriesByType("measure").length
  );
}

// Create a bunch of measures.
performance.measure("from navigation");
performance.mark("a");
performance.measure("from mark a", "a");
performance.measure("from navigation");
performance.measure("from mark a", "a");
performance.mark("b");
performance.measure("between a and b", "a", "b");

logMeasureCount() // "Found this many entries: 5"

// Delete just the "from navigation" PerformanceMeasure entries.
performance.clearMeasures("from navigation");
logMeasureCount() // "Found this many entries: 3"

// Delete all of the PerformanceMeasure entries.
performance.clearMeasures();
logMeasureCount() // "Found this many entries: 0"
