# started method

Duration started()

Marks the application as "started" and calculates the duration since `getStartTime()`.

Stores the result in `_timeTakenToStarted` for future reference.

### Example

    final duration = startup.started();
    print('Started in ${duration.inMilliseconds}ms');

## Implementation

    Duration started() {
      final now = DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch;
      _timeTakenToStarted = Duration(milliseconds: now - getStartTime());
      return _timeTakenToStarted;
    }
