Package description

What is which-typed-array?

The `which-typed-array` npm package is designed to identify the type of a given typed array instance. It supports all built-in JavaScript typed array types, including `Int8Array`, `Uint8Array`, `Uint8ClampedArray`, `Int16Array`, `Uint16Array`, `Int32Array`, `Uint32Array`, `Float32Array`, `Float64Array`, and `BigInt64Array`, `BigUint64Array`. This package is useful for applications that need to process or manipulate typed arrays and must determine their specific types to apply the correct operations.

Identifying Typed Array Type

This feature allows the identification of the type of a typed array. The function `whichTypedArray` is called with a typed array as its argument, and it returns a string representing the type of the typed array.

"use strict";\nconst whichTypedArray = require('which-typed-array');\nconsole.log(whichTypedArray(new Uint8Array())); // 'Uint8Array'\nconsole.log(whichTypedArray(new Float32Array())); // 'Float32Array'"

assert.equal(false, whichTypedArray(false));
assert.equal(false, whichTypedArray(true));
assert.equal(false, whichTypedArray([]));
assert.equal(false, whichTypedArray({}));
assert.equal(false, whichTypedArray(/a/g));
assert.equal(false, whichTypedArray(new RegExp('a', 'g')));
assert.equal(false, whichTypedArray(new Date()));
assert.equal(false, whichTypedArray(42));
assert.equal(false, whichTypedArray(NaN));
assert.equal(false, whichTypedArray(Infinity));
assert.equal(false, whichTypedArray(new Number(42)));
assert.equal(false, whichTypedArray('foo'));
assert.equal(false, whichTypedArray(Object('foo')));
assert.equal(false, whichTypedArray(function () {}));
assert.equal(false, whichTypedArray(function* () {}));
assert.equal(false, whichTypedArray(x => x * x));
assert.equal(false, whichTypedArray([]));

assert.equal('Int8Array', whichTypedArray(new Int8Array()));
assert.equal('Uint8Array', whichTypedArray(new Uint8Array()));
assert.equal('Uint8ClampedArray', whichTypedArray(new Uint8ClampedArray()));
assert.equal('Int16Array', whichTypedArray(new Int16Array()));
assert.equal('Uint16Array', whichTypedArray(new Uint16Array()));
assert.equal('Int32Array', whichTypedArray(new Int32Array()));
assert.equal('Uint32Array', whichTypedArray(new Uint32Array()));
assert.equal('Float32Array', whichTypedArray(new Float32Array()));
assert.equal('Float64Array', whichTypedArray(new Float64Array()));
assert.equal('BigInt64Array', whichTypedArray(new BigInt64Array()));
assert.equal('BigUint64Array', whichTypedArray(new BigUint64Array()));
