Package Exports

eval-serialize-typed-array

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 (eval-serialize-typed-array) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Typed Array Serialization

Serializes a typed array for dynamic code evaluation.

Installation

$ npm install eval-serialize-typed-array

Usage

var serialize = require( 'eval-serialize-typed-array' );

serialize( value )

Serializes a typed array for dynamic code evaluation.

var deepEqual = require( 'deep-equal' );

var arr1 = new Int8Array( 4 );

var str = serialize( arr1 );
// returns 'new Int8Array([0,0,0,0])'

var arr2 = eval( str );
// returns Int8Array( [0,0,0,0] )

var bool = deepEqual( arr1, arr2 );
// returns true

serialize.raw( arr )

Serializes a typed array without performing type checking.

try {
    // throws during input argument validation...
    serialize( null );
} catch ( err ) {
    console.error( err );
}

// To bypass validation...
var str = serialize.raw( new Float64Array( [1,2,3,4] ) );
// returns 'new Float64Array([1,2,3,4])';

Examples

var serialize = require( 'eval-serialize-typed-array' );

/**
* Returns a function to create a filled array.
*/
function create( arr ) {
    var f = '';
    f += 'return function fill( len ) {';
    f += 'var arr = new Array( len );';
    f += 'for ( var i = 0; i < len; i++ ) {';
    f += 'arr[ i ] = ' + serialize( arr ) + ';';
    f += '}';
    f += 'return arr;';
    f += '}';
    return ( new Function( f ) )();
}

var fill = create( new Float32Array( 20 ) );

console.log( fill( 10 ) );

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.

Test Coverage

This repository uses Istanbul as its code coverage tool. To generate a test coverage report, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

$ make test-cov

Istanbul creates a ./reports/coverage directory. To access an HTML version of the report,

$ make view-cov
