Return a data type from a string representing the type
npm install @talenfisher/dtypeReturn 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.
``js
var dtype = require('dtype')
var ndarray = require('ndarray')
var arr = ndarray(new Int8Array(32))
// some time later
var newarr = ndarray(new (dtype(arr.dtype)))
`
will return the following data types based on the strings given:Data type | String
--------: | :-----
Int8Array | "int8"
Int16Array | "int16"
Int32Array | "int32"
Uint8Array | "uint8"
Uint16Array | "uint16"
Uint32Array | "uint32"
Float32Array | "float32"
Float64Array | "float64"
Array | "array"
Uint8ClampedArray | "uint8_clamped"Returns
undefined if the type isn't recognized.install
With npm do:
`
npm install dtype
