Define non-enumerable read-only properties which expose strided array function meta data.
npm install @stdlib/strided-base-meta-data-propsWe 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!

> Define non-enumerable read-only properties which expose strided array function meta data.
``bash`
npm install @stdlib/strided-base-meta-data-props
`javascript`
var setProps = require( '@stdlib/strided-base-meta-data-props' );
#### setProps( meta, dtypes, obj, bool )
Defines non-enumerable read-only properties which expose strided array function meta data.
`javascript
// Define strided array function meta data:
var meta = {
'nargs': 7,
'nin': 1,
'nout': 1
};
// Define the list of strided array data types:
var dtypes = [
'float64', 'float64'
];
// Define an object/function on which to set the properties:
var obj = {};
// Set the properties:
setProps( meta, dtypes, obj, false );
`
The meta data argument should be an object with the following properties:
- nargs: total number of arguments (excluding offsets).
- nin: number of input strided arrays.
- nout: number of output strided arrays.
The bool argument indicates whether the input object should describe an "ndarray" interface (i.e., an interface supporting offset arguments).
`javascript
// Define strided array function meta data:
var meta = {
'nargs': 7, // excludes offsets
'nin': 1,
'nout': 1
};
// Define the list of strided array data types:
var dtypes = [
'float64', 'float64'
];
// Define an object/function on which to set the properties:
var obj = {};
// Set the properties:
setProps( meta, dtypes, obj, true );
// Retrieve the total number of arguments:
var nargs = obj.nargs;
// returns 9
`
`javascript
var setProps = require( '@stdlib/strided-base-meta-data-props' );
// Define strided array function meta data:
var meta = {
'nargs': 7,
'nin': 1,
'nout': 1
};
// Define the list of strided array data types:
var types = [
'float64', 'float64',
'float32', 'float32',
'generic', 'generic'
];
// Define an object/function on which to set the properties:
var obj = {};
// Set the properties:
setProps( meta, types, obj, false );
// Retrieve strided array function data...
var nargs = obj.nargs;
// returns 7
var nin = obj.nin;
// returns 1
var nout = obj.nout;
// returns 1
var sigs = obj.types;
// returns [...]
