mem-mon

mem-mon is a Node.js package that allows developers to monitor the memory usage of a specific package and its dependencies within their applications. It's designed to help identify potential memory leaks or high-memory-consuming packages, providing insights that can lead to more efficient memory usage in Node.js projects.

Features

• Monitors and logs the memory usage of a specified package and its dependencies.
• Reports memory usage in megabytes (MB) for easy readability.
• Simple integration into existing Node.js applications or development workflows.

Installation

To install mem-mon, use npm:

npm install mem-mon --save-dev

Usage

To monitor the memory usage of a specific package and its dependencies, simply require mem-mon and invoke it with the name of the package you wish to monitor. Here's how you can do it:

const monitorPackageMemoryUsage = require('mem-mon');

// Specify the package name you want to monitor
monitorPackageMemoryUsage('express');

This setup will initiate the memory monitoring for the specified package (express in the example above). When the process exits, mem-mon will log the memory usage of the specified package and its dependencies in megabytes (MB), providing you with insights into the memory footprint of the modules in use.

Example

To illustrate how mem-mon can be used in a project, consider the following example where we monitor the memory usage of express, a popular web framework for Node.js:

const monitorPackageMemoryUsage = require('mem-mon');

// Start monitoring memory usage of 'express'
monitorPackageMemoryUsage('express');
