About stdlib...

We 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!

resolveGetter

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Return an accessor function for retrieving an element from an array-like object.

Usage

import resolveGetter from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/array-base-resolve-getter@esm/index.mjs';

resolveGetter( x )

Returns an accessor function for retrieving an element from an array-like object.

var x = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];

var get = resolveGetter( x );
var v = get( x, 2 );
// returns 3

The returned accessor function accepts the following arguments:

  • arr: input array.
  • idx: element index.

Notes

  • If provided an array-like object having an unsupported data type, the function returns a default accessor function for accessing elements from any array-like object; otherwise, the function returns an accessor function which should only be provided an array instance having the same data type (e.g., if provided a Float64Array, the returned accessor function should only be provided instances of Float64Array).
  • Accessor functions do not verify that provided input arrays are array instances having a specific data type, as doing so would introduce performance overhead. If array instances corresponding to other data types are provided to an accessor function, JavaScript runtimes will consider the function polymorphic, potentially triggering de-optimization. In order to ensure maximum performance, always ensure that an accessor function is monomorphic.
  • Accessor functions do not perform bounds checking.
  • Accessor functions do not verify that provided input arrays implement the get/set protocol.
  • An indexed array-like object is a data structure in which one retrieves elements via integer indices using bracket [] notation (e.g., Float64Array, Int32Array, Array, etc). This is in contrast to an accessor array-like object in which one retrieves elements using get and set methods (e.g., Complex64Array and Complex128Array).
