get data type for a string, like 'uint8'
MIT License
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
.
This builds on dtype, but includes some ndarray-specific features like 'buffer'
(at the expense of increasing bundle size due to including Buffer).
arr = dtype(str)
Returns the constructor for the given data type, or undefined
if the string type isn't recognized.
Data type | String |
---|---|
Int8Array |
"int8" |
Int16Array |
"int16" |
Int32Array |
"int32" |
Uint8Array |
"uint8" |
Uint16Array |
"uint16" |
Uint32Array |
"uint32" |
Float32Array |
"float32" |
Float64Array |
"float64" |
Array |
"array" |
Uint8ClampedArray |
"uint8_clamped" |
Buffer |
"buffer" |
ArrayBuffer |
"generic" |
ArrayBuffer |
"data" |

Note: If Buffer
isn't exposed globally, using "buffer"
returns undefined
.
With npm do:
npm install dtype
