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.
See ndarray-dtype if you need to support Buffer and other ndarray types.
- Added support for single letter strings (D, F, J, I, see table below)
var dtype = require('dtype')
var ndarray = require('ndarray')
var arr = ndarray(new Int8Array(32))
// some time later
var newarr = ndarray(new (dtype(arr.dtype)))dtype(string) will return the following data types based on the strings given:
| Data type | String |
|---|---|
Int8Array |
"int8" |
Int16Array |
"int16" or "i" |
Int32Array |
"int32" or "l" |
Uint8Array |
"uint8" |
Uint16Array |
"uint16" |
Uint32Array |
"uint32" |
Float32Array |
"float32" or "f" |
Float64Array |
"float64" or "d" |
Array |
"array" |
Uint8ClampedArray |
"uint8_clamped" |
Returns undefined if the type isn't recognized.
With npm do:
npm install @talenfisher/dtype
Use browserify to require('dtype').
- 2.0.0 - moving buffer, generic and data to a different module
- 1.0.0 - Add uint8_clamped, generic, data, dataview and buffer types
- 0.1.0 - initial release
