Chrome Dev Tools - write events to the Timeline

Question

I'm debugging the load times of a page and started using the Timeline feature of Chrome Dev Tools.

What I would like to do is modify my javascript library so that I could write some "events" to the timeline so I could know at what time, the code hit a certain line. But I can see that the timeline only records "real" events: http requests, script evaluations, paint events..

Is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

Yes, you can.

Use console.timeStamp('whatever');
