Bindings and implementation for mutable JavaScript ArrayBuffers.

An ArrayBuffer is a built-in JavaScript object for storage of a flat continuous region of memory.

The Typed module provides a view into an ArrayBuffer for array access of aligned local-machine-endian types, for in-process flat memory operations.

The DataView module provides a view into an ArrayBuffer for inter-process flat memory operations.

Installation

Install arraybuffer with Spago:

spago install arraybuffer

Documentation

arraybuffer documentation is stored in a few places:

Usage

Polyfill

This library relies on runtime implementations of ArrayBuffer and DataView (Structured Data), and TypedArray (Indexed Collections).

If you want to be sure that those implementations are available in your target runtime environment, you might want to consider using a polyfill such as core-js Typed Arrays.
