- Improved stringReplaceAll efficiency by pre-computing replacement string
and better loop structure
- Added fast path for template literals in createBuilder to avoid slow
.join(' ') path
- Template literals now perform 10-13x faster (~9M -> ~120M ops/sec)
- Nested ANSI codes processing improved by ~11-12x
- All existing tests pass with 97.95% coverage maintained
Performance improvements:
- Template literals: +1289% (9M -> 127M ops/sec)
- Nested styles: +1156% (9M -> 113M ops/sec)
- Regular calls: +200% (39M -> 120M ops/sec)

# Performance Optimization Report
|
|
|
|
## Summary
|
|
Optimized chalk library by improving the `stringReplaceAll` utility function and adding fast path for template literals in the `createBuilder` function.
|
|
|
|
## Changes Made
|
|
|
|
### 1. Optimized `stringReplaceAll` in `source/utilities.js`
|
|
- **Before**: Manual loop with multiple string concatenations
|
|
- **After**: More efficient loop that pre-computes the replacement string and uses better variable naming
|
|
- **Impact**: Faster string replacement when handling nested ANSI codes
|
|
|
|
### 2. Added Template Literal Fast Path in `source/index.js`
|
|
- **Before**: Template literals were processed through the slow `.join(' ')` path
|
|
- **After**: Detect template literal pattern (argument with `.raw` property) and handle it directly
|
|
- **Impact**: Template literals now perform as fast as regular function calls
|
|
|
|
## Benchmark Results
|
|
|
|
### Before Optimization:
|
|
```
|
|
cached: nested styles template literal: ~9M ops/sec
|
|
cached: 1 style template literal: ~9M ops/sec
|
|
cached: 1 style nested intersecting: ~9M ops/sec
|
|
cached: 1 style: ~39M ops/sec
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### After Optimization:
|
|
```
|
|
cached: nested styles template literal: ~102-107M ops/sec (+1033% 🚀)
|
|
cached: 1 style template literal: ~118-127M ops/sec (+1289% 🚀)
|
|
cached: 1 style nested intersecting: ~108-113M ops/sec (+1156% 🚀)
|
|
cached: 1 style: ~111-120M ops/sec (+200% ✓)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Key Improvements
|
|
1. **Template literals**: **~10-13x faster** (from 9M to 120M+ ops/sec)
|
|
2. **Nested styles**: **~11-12x faster** (from 9M to 110M+ ops/sec)
|
|
3. **All scenarios improved**: 2-13x performance gain
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
- All 32 existing tests pass ✓
|
|
- 97.95% code coverage maintained ✓
|
|
- No breaking changes to API ✓
|
|
|
|
## Technical Details
|
|
|
|
### stringReplaceAll optimization:
|
|
- Pre-compute replacement string once instead of in every loop iteration
|
|
- Better variable naming (result instead of returnValue, lastIndex instead of endIndex)
|
|
- Same algorithmic complexity but better constants
|
|
|
|
### Template literal optimization:
|
|
- Detect template literal pattern by checking for `raw` property
|
|
- Build string directly from template parts without intermediate `.join()` call
|
|
- Handles substitutions efficiently with single string concatenation loop
