About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

getter

[![NPM version][npm-image]][npm-url] [![Build Status][test-image]][test-url] [![Coverage Status][coverage-image]][coverage-url]

> Return an accessor function for retrieving an element from an indexed array-like object.

Installation

``bash npm install @stdlib/array-base-getter`

`Usage`

`javascript var getter = require( '@stdlib/array-base-getter' );`

#### getter( dtype )

Returns an accessor function for retrieving an element from an indexed array-like object.

`javascript var arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];

var get = getter( 'generic' ); var v = get( arr, 2 ); // returns 3`

The returned accessor function accepts the following arguments:

- arr: input array. - idx: element index.

`Notes`

- If provided an unsupported [dtype][@stdlib/array/dtypes], the function returns a default accessor function for accessing elements from any indexed array-like object; otherwise, the function returns an accessor function which should only be provided an array instance corresponding to dtype (e.g., if dtype is 'float64', the returned accessor function should only be provided instances of Float64Array). - Accessor functions do not verify that provided input arrays are array instances corresponding todtype, as doing so would introduce performance overhead. If array instances corresponding to other data types are provided to an accessor function, JavaScript runtimes will consider the function polymorphic, potentially triggering de-optimization. In order to ensure maximum performance, always ensure that an accessor function is monomorphic. - Accessor functions do not perform bounds checking. - An _indexed_ array-like object is a data structure in which one retrieves elements via integer indices using bracket[] notation (e.g., Float64Array, Int32Array, Array, etc). This is in contrast to an _accessor_ array-like object in which one retrieves elements using get and set methods (e.g., Complex64Array and Complex128Array).

`Examples`

`javascript var filled = require( '@stdlib/array-filled' ); var dtype = require( '@stdlib/array-dtype' ); var getter = require( '@stdlib/array-base-getter' );

var arr = filled( 1.0, 10, 'float64' ); var v = getter( dtype( arr ) )( arr, 2 ); // returns 1.0

arr = filled( 2.0, 10, 'float32' ); v = getter( dtype( arr ) )( arr, 2 ); // returns 2.0

arr = filled( 3, 10, 'int32' ); v = getter( dtype( arr ) )( arr, 2 ); // returns 3

arr = filled( 4, 10, 'int16' ); v = getter( dtype( arr ) )( arr, 2 ); // returns 4

arr = filled( 5, 10, 'int8' ); v = getter( dtype( arr ) )( arr, 2 ); // returns 5

arr = filled( 6, 10, 'uint32' ); v = getter( dtype( arr ) )( arr, 2 ); // returns 6

arr = filled( 7, 10, 'uint16' ); v = getter( dtype( arr ) )( arr, 2 ); // returns 7

arr = filled( 8, 10, 'uint8' ); v = getter( dtype( arr ) )( arr, 2 ); // returns 8

arr = filled( 9, 10, 'uint8c' ); v = getter( dtype( arr ) )( arr, 2 ); // returns 9`

`Notice`

This package is part of [stdlib][stdlib], a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
