Package Exports

dstructs-cast-arrays

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (dstructs-cast-arrays) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

cast-arrays

Casts an array to an array of a different data type.

Installation

$ npm install dstructs-cast-arrays

For use in the browser, use browserify.

Usage

var cast = require( 'dstructs-cast-arrays' );

cast( x, type )

Casts an input array or array-like object to a specified array type.

var arr = Int32Array( 10 );

var out = cast( arr, 'float32' );
// returns Float32Array

type may be either a string specifying the desired output array data type or a value from which the desired data type should be inferred.

var x = Int32Array( 10 ),
    y = Float32Array( 25 );

// Cast `x` to be the same data type as `y`:
var out = cast( x, y );
// returns Float32Array

For a list of supported output array data types, see dstructs-array-constructors.

Examples

var cast = require( 'dstructs-cast-arrays' ),
    arr,
    x, y, z;

arr = new Int8Array( 10 );
x = cast( arr, 'int16' );
// returns Int16Array

arr = new Array( 100 );
y = cast( arr, 'float64' );
// returns Float64Array

z = cast( x, y );
// returns Float64Array

To run the example code from the top-level application directory,

$ node ./examples/index.js

Tests

Unit

Unit tests use the Mocha test framework with Chai assertions. To run the tests, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

$ make test

All new feature development should have corresponding unit tests to validate correct functionality.
