# benchmarked [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/benchmarked) [](https://npmjs.org/package/benchmarked) [](https://npmjs.org/package/benchmarked) [](https://travis-ci.org/jonschlinkert/benchmarked)
> Easily generate benchmarks from a glob of files.
Follow this project's author, [Jon Schlinkert](https://github.com/jonschlinkert), for updates on this project and others.
## Install
Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):
```sh
$ npm install --save benchmarked
```
This is an opinionated wrapper for [benchmarked.js](http://benchmarkjs.com/) to make it easier to do benchmarks using glob patterns. Concept is from [remarkable](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/remarkable/tree/master/benchmark)
## Usage
```js
const Suite = require('benchmarked');
const suite = new Suite({
cwd: 'benchmark', // optionally define a base directory for code and fixtures
fixtures: 'my-fixtures/*.txt', // path or glob pattern to fixtures
code: 'my-functions/*.js', // path or glob pattern to code files
format: function(benchmark) {
// optionally override default formatting.
// return a string.
// see examples/basic.js for a real example.
}
});
// run the benchmarks
suite.run();
```
See the [examples](./example) to get a better understanding of how this works.
