pwmetrics http://example.com/ --json
# returns...
# {runs: [{
# "timings": [
# {
# "name": "First Contentful Paint",

##
## CLI options useful for CI
##
# --expectations Assert metrics results against provides values. See _Defining expectations_ below.
pwmetrics --expectations
# --fail-on-error Exit PWMetrics with an error status code after the first unfilled expectation.
pwmetrics --fail-on-error
```
### Defining config

### Defining expectations
> [Recipes](/recipes) for using with CI
```sh
# run pwmetrics with config in package.json
pwmetrics --expectations
```
`package.json`
```
...
"pwmetrics": {
"url": "http://example.com/",
"expectations": {
...
}
}
...
```
```sh
# run pwmetrics with config in pwmetrics-config.js
pwmetrics --expectations --config=pwmetrics-config.js
```
### Defining submit
Submit results to Google Sheets
*Instructions:*
- Copy [this spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17jgt_uKxm4WvROmKMfSDzhdCAstNvyaiDP_k2XqzgD0).
- Copy the ID of the spreadsheet into the config as value of `sheets.options.spreadsheetId` property.
- Setup Google Developer project and get credentials. ([everything in step 1 here](https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/quickstart/nodejs#step_1_turn_on_the_api_name))
- Take a `client_secret` and put it into the config as value of `clientSecret` property.
```sh
# run pwmetrics with config in package.json
pwmetrics --submit
```
```sh
# run pwmetrics with config in pwmetrics-config.js
pwmetrics --submit --config=pwmetrics-config.js
```
`pwmetrics-config.js`

#### Available metrics:
All metrics now are stored in separate constant object located in `pwmetrics/lib/metrics/metrics`;
```js
// lib/metrics/metrics.ts
{
METRICS: {
TTFCP: 'firstContentfulPaint',
TTLCP: 'largestContentfulPaint',
TBT: 'totalBlockingTime',
TTI: 'interactive',
SI: 'speedIndex'
}
}
