# axum-server-timing
[](https://crates.io/crates/axum-server-timing)
An axum layer to inject the Server-Timing HTTP header into the response.
For a reference on the header please see [developer.mozilla.org](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Server-Timing).
## Examples
### Using for Request Timing
Using the layer to inject the Server-Timing Header.
```rust
let app = Router::new()
.route("/", get(handler))
.layer(axum_server_timing::ServerTimingLayer::new("HelloService"));
```
**Output**
```http
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8
content-length: 22
server-timing: HelloService;dur=102
date: Wed, 19 Apr 2023 15:25:40 GMT
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
```
### Using for Request Timing with Description
Using the layer to inject the Server-Timing Header with description.
```rust
let app = Router::new()
.route("/", get(handler))
.layer(
axum_server_timing::ServerTimingLayer::new("HelloService")
.with_description("whatever")
);
```
**Output**
```http
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8
content-length: 22
server-timing: HelloService;desc="whatever";dur=102
date: Wed, 19 Apr 2023 15:25:40 GMT
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
```
### Recording exection Steps
```rust
use axum::{response::Html, routing::get, Extension, Router};
use axum_server_timing::ServerTimingExtension;
use std::time::Duration;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let app = Router::new().route("/", get(handler)).layer(
axum_server_timing::ServerTimingLayer::new("HelloService").with_description("whatever"),
);
let listener = tokio::net::TcpListener::bind("0.0.0.0:3000").await.unwrap();
println!("listening on 0.0.0.0:3000");
axum::serve(listener, app.into_make_service())
.await
.unwrap();
}
async fn handler(Extension(timing): Extension<ServerTimingExtension>) -> Html<&'static str> {
// intentional sleep, so the duration does not report 0
tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_millis(100)).await;
timing
.lock()
.unwrap()
.record("after-sleep".to_string(), None);
timing
.lock()
.unwrap()
.record_timing("custom".to_string(), Duration::from_millis(66), None);
Html("<h1>Hello, World!</h1>")
}
```
**Output**
```http
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8
server-timing: HelloService;desc="whatever";dur=102.43, after-sleep;dur=102.40, custom;dur=66.00
content-length: 22
date: Sat, 22 Mar 2025 20:32:45 GMT
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
```
