Usage

Before making use of ReactiveTimelane, you need to install the Timelane Instrument from http://timelane.tools

Import the ReactiveTimelane framework in your code:

import ReactiveTimelane

Use the lane(_:) operator to profile a subscription via the TimelaneInstrument. Insert lane(_:) at the precise spot in your code you'd like to profile like so:

let producer: SignalProducer<Void, Never> = SignalProducer(value: ())
producer
    .lane("Void producer")
    .start()

Then profile your project by clicking Product > Profile in Xcode's main menu.

For a more detailed walkthrough go to http://timelane.tools.

API Reference

lane(_:filter:)

Use lane("Lane name") to send data to both the subscriptions and events lanes in the Timelane Instrument.

lane("Lane name", filter: .subscription) sends begin/completion events to the Subscriptions lane. Use this syntax if you only want to observe the lifetime of the Signal / SignalProducer.

lane("Lane name", filter: .event) sends events and values to the Events lane. Use this filter if you are only interested in the values the Signal / SignalProducer emits.

Additionally you can transform the values logged in Timelane by using the optional transformValue trailing closure:

lane("Lane name", transformValue: { "Value is \($0)" })
