DataView

Constructor which returns a data view representing a provided array buffer.

Usage

var DataView = require( '@stdlib/array/dataview' );

DataView( buffer[, byteOffset[, byteLength]] )

Returns a DataView representing a provided array buffer.

var ArrayBuffer = require( '@stdlib/array/buffer' );

var buf = new ArrayBuffer( 5 );
// returns <ArrayBuffer>

var dv = new DataView( buf );
// returns <DataView>

Properties

DataView.prototype.buffer

Read-only property which returns the underlying array buffer.

var ArrayBuffer = require( '@stdlib/array/buffer' );

var buf1 = new ArrayBuffer( 5 );
var dv = new DataView( buf1 );

var buf2 = dv.buffer;
// returns <ArrayBuffer>

var bool = ( buf1 === buf2 );
// returns true

DataView.prototype.byteLength

Read-only property which returns the length (in bytes) of the DataView.

var ArrayBuffer = require( '@stdlib/array/buffer' );

var buf = new ArrayBuffer( 5 );
var dv = new DataView( buf );

var byteLength = dv.byteLength;
// returns 5

DataView.prototype.byteOffset

Read-only property which returns the number of bytes from the DataView to the start of the underlying array buffer.

var ArrayBuffer = require( '@stdlib/array/buffer' );

var buf = new ArrayBuffer( 5 );
var dv = new DataView( buf, 3 );

var byteOffset = dv.byteOffset;
// returns 3

Examples

var IS_LITTLE_ENDIAN = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-little-endian' );
var toBinaryString = require( '@stdlib/number/uint8/base/to-binary-string' );
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' );
var Uint8Array = require( '@stdlib/array/uint8' );
var ArrayBuffer = require( '@stdlib/array/buffer' );
var DataView = require( '@stdlib/array/dataview' );

// Create a new ArrayBuffer:
var buf = new ArrayBuffer( 64 );

// Create a new DataView:
var dv = new DataView( buf );

// Set values in the view:
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < dv.byteLength/8; i++ ) {
    dv.setFloat64( i*8, randu()*100.0, IS_LITTLE_ENDIAN );
}

// Create a "bytes" view of the underlying array buffer:
var bytes = new Uint8Array( dv.buffer );

// Print the bytes:
for ( i = 0; i < bytes.length; i++ ) {
    console.log( 'byte %d: %s', i, toBinaryString( bytes[ i ] ) );
}
