Return a data type from a string representing the type

Package Exports

  • dtype

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 (dtype) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

dtype

Return a data type from a string representing the data type.

Mostly useful for using with ndarray where you would like instantiate a typed array of the same array.dtype.

example

var dtype = require('dtype')
var ndarray = require('ndarray')

var arr = ndarray(new Int8Array(32))

// some time later

var newarr = ndarray(new (dtype(arr.dtype)))

API

dtype(string) will return the following data types based on the strings given:

Data type String
Int8Array "int8"
Int16Array "int16"
Int32Array "int32"
Uint8Array "uint8"
Uint16Array "uint16"
Uint32Array "uint32"
Float32Array "float32"
Float64Array "float64"
Array "array"
Uint8ClampedArray "uint8_clamped"
ArrayBuffer "generic"
ArrayBuffer "data"
ArrayBuffer "dataview"
Buffer "buffer"

If Buffer is not present then "buffer" will return ArrayBuffer.

install

With npm do:

npm install dtype

Use browserify to require('dtype').
