Package description
The is-typedarray npm package is a utility that allows developers to check if a given value is a TypedArray. TypedArrays are a feature in JavaScript that allows for handling binary data. This package provides a simple and straightforward way to determine if an object is one of the TypedArray types, such as Int8Array, Uint8Array, Float32Array, etc.
Check if a value is a TypedArray
This feature allows you to check if a given value is a TypedArray. The function returns true if the value is one of the TypedArray types, and false otherwise.
const isTypedArray = require('is-typedarray');
const buffer = new ArrayBuffer(10);
const typedArray = new Uint8Array(buffer);
const result = isTypedArray(typedArray); // trueThe isarray package is used to check if a given value is an Array. It does not specifically check for TypedArrays, but it is similar in the sense that it is used to determine the type of a collection.
The is-buffer package checks if an object is a Node.js Buffer, which is a way to handle binary data similar to TypedArrays. While it does not check for TypedArrays specifically, it serves a similar purpose in type checking for binary data containers.
This package converts a TypedArray to a Node.js Buffer without copying the underlying memory. While it does not provide type checking functionality, it operates on TypedArrays and provides a utility that is often used in conjunction with type checking.
