Copy elements from an input strided DataView to elements in an output strided array.
npm install @stdlib/strided-base-read-dataviewWe 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!

> Copy elements from an input strided [DataView][@stdlib/array/dataview] to elements in an output strided array.
``bash`
npm install @stdlib/strided-base-read-dataview
`javascript`
var readDataView = require( '@stdlib/strided-base-read-dataview' );
#### readDataView( N, view, strideView, out, strideOut, littleEndian )
Copies elements from an input strided [DataView][@stdlib/array/dataview] to elements in an output strided array.
`javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var DataView = require( '@stdlib/array-dataview' );
var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
var view = new DataView( x.buffer );
var y = new Float64Array( x.length );
var out = readDataView( x.length, view, 8, y, 1, true );
// e.g., returns
var bool = ( out === y );
// returns true
`
The function accepts the following arguments:
- N: number of indexed elements.
- view: input [DataView][@stdlib/array/dataview].view
- strideView: index increment (in bytes) for .out
- out: output strided array.
- strideOut: index increment for .
- littleEndian: boolean indicating whether to store values in little-endian format.
The N and stride parameters determine which elements in view and out are accessed at runtime. For example, to index the first N elements of view in reverse order and to index every other value in out,
`javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var DataView = require( '@stdlib/array-dataview' );
var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
var view = new DataView( x.buffer );
var y = new Float64Array( x.length*2 );
var out = readDataView( x.length, view, -8, y, 2, true );
// e.g., returns
var bool = ( out === y );
// returns true
`
Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use typed array views.
`javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var DataView = require( '@stdlib/array-dataview' );
var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
var view = new DataView( x.buffer );
// Initial output array:
var y0 = new Float64Array( x.length+1 );
// Create an offset view:
var y1 = new Float64Array( y0.buffer, y0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
var out = readDataView( x.length, view, 8, y1, 1, true );
// e.g., returns
var bool = ( out === y1 );
// returns true
`
#### readDataView.ndarray( N, view, strideView, offsetView, out, strideOut, offsetOut, littleEndian )
Copies elements from an input strided [DataView][@stdlib/array/dataview] to elements in an output strided array using alternative indexing semantics.
`javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var DataView = require( '@stdlib/array-dataview' );
var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
var view = new DataView( x.buffer );
var y = new Float64Array( x.length );
var out = readDataView.ndarray( x.length, view, 8, 0, y, 1, 0, true );
// e.g., returns
var bool = ( out === y );
// returns true
`
The function accepts the following additional arguments:
- offsetView: starting index (in bytes) for view.out
- offsetOut: starting index for .
While typed array views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offset parameters support indexing semantics based on starting indices. For example, to index the last N elements in view in reverse order and to index every other value in out starting from the second value,
`javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var DataView = require( '@stdlib/array-dataview' );
var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
var view = new DataView( x.buffer );
var y = new Float64Array( x.length*2 );
var out = readDataView.ndarray( x.length, view, -8, 24, y, 2, 1, true );
// e.g., returns
var bool = ( out === y );
// returns true
`
`javascript
var DataView = require( '@stdlib/array-dataview' );
var typedarray = require( '@stdlib/array-typed' );
var bytesPerElement = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-bytes-per-element' );
var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-array-discrete-uniform' );
var IS_LITTLE_ENDIAN = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-little-endian' );
var logEach = require( '@stdlib/console-log-each' );
var readDataView = require( '@stdlib/strided-base-read-dataview' );
// Specify the array data type:
var dtype = 'float64';
// Resolve the number of bytes per element:
var nbytes = bytesPerElement( dtype );
// Generate an array of random numbers:
var x = discreteUniform( 10, 0, 100, {
'dtype': dtype
});
// Create a DataView:
var view = new DataView( x.buffer );
// Create an output array:
var out = typedarray( x.length, dtype );
// Read elements from the DataView according to host byte order:
readDataView( out.length, view, nbytes, out, 1, IS_LITTLE_ENDIAN );
// Print the results:
logEach( '%d -> %d', x, out );
// Read elements from the DataView according to the opposite byte order:
readDataView( out.length, view, nbytes, out, 1, !IS_LITTLE_ENDIAN );
// Print the results:
logEach( '%d -> %d', x, out );
