which-typed-array 1.1.9

The which-typed-array is a powerful JavaScript npm package utilized for determining the kind of Typed Array of a JavaScript value. It serves an essential purpose in revealing the specific Typed Array type, implementing this functionality across different realms, despite Symbol.toStringTag, and without using instanceof. This package ensures compatibility and interaction across different arrays while circumventing any potential issues related to array identification.

To use the which-typed-array package, you first need to install it, which is easily done via npm. The following instructions illustrate its use:

1. First, install the package by running the command npm install which-typed-array
2. Then, in your JavaScript file, require the which-typed-array module.

Here's a simple code example illustrating its application:

var whichTypedArray = require('which-typed-array');
var assert = require('assert');

assert.equal('Int8Array', whichTypedArray(new Int8Array()));
assert.equal('Uint8Array', whichTypedArray(new Uint8Array()));
// And so on for the various typed arrays

In the code snippet above, whichTypedArray function is used to check the type of various typed arrays. If the input value is a type of Typed Array, the function will return a string representing the constructor name; otherwise, it will return false.

As for the which-typed-array documentation, it can be found primarily in the README file on its GitHub repository. Here, you'll find comprehensive details about what the package accomplishes, how to use it and run tests on it. The readme is very thorough, providing detailed examples of the npm package in action. Thus, it serves as a great starting point in understanding the functions and manipulating the Typed Array types.
