Timing events

[Oyvindkg]

It may be interesting to know how long it takes before an event to occurs. Timing is supported by most providers, and the implementation is usually very similar to regular events.

May I have an example? Thanks!

For example measuring the time it takes to complete a checkout process.

You may do something like this in Mixpanel:

/* When the checkout process is initiated */
Mixpanel.mainInstance().time(event: Event.purchaseCompleted.name)

/* When the purchase is completed */
Mixpanel.mainInstance().track(event: Event.purchaseCompleted.name)

Flurry:

/* When the checkout process is initiated */
Flurry.logEvent(Event.purchaseCompleted.name, withParameters: someParameters, timed: true);

/* When the purchase is completed */
Flurry.endTimedEvent(Event.purchaseCompleted.name, withParameters: nil)

Looks interesting. But I wonder how could we abstract those methods. Do you have any idea? :thinking:
