module ActiveSupport
  module Benchmarkable
    # Allows you to measure the execution time of a block in a template and records the result to
    # the log. Wrap this block around expensive operations or possible bottlenecks to get a time
    # reading for the operation. For example, let's say you thought your file processing method
    # was taking too long; you could wrap it in a benchmark block.
    #
    #  <% benchmark "Process data files" do %>
    #    <%= expensive_files_operation %>
    #  <% end %>
    #
    # That would add something like "Process data files (345.2ms)" to the log, which you can then
    # use to compare timings when optimizing your code.
    #
    # You may give an optional logger level (:debug, :info, :warn, :error) as the :level option.
    # The default logger level value is :info.
    #
    #  <% benchmark "Low-level files", :level => :debug do %>
    #    <%= lowlevel_files_operation %>
    #  <% end %>
    #
    # Finally, you can pass true as the third argument to silence all log activity (other than the
    # timing information) from inside the block. This is great for boiling down a noisy block to 
    # just a single statement that produces one log line:
    #
    #  <% benchmark "Process data files", :level => :info, :silence => true do %>
    #    <%= expensive_and_chatty_files_operation %>
    #  <% end %>
