> Returns an array constructor corresponding to an array data type.


## Installation

``` bash
$ npm install compute-array-constructors
```

For use in the browser, use [browserify](https://github.com/substack/node-browserify).


## Usage

``` javascript
var getCtor = require( 'compute-array-constructors' );
```

#### getCtor( dtype )

Returns an `array` constructor corresponding to an `array` data type.

``` javascript
var ctor = getCtor( 'int8' );
// returns Int8Array
```

The following `array` data types are supported:

| Data Type | Constructor |
|:----------|:------------|
| int8 | [`Int8Array`][Int8Array] |
| uint8 | [`Uint8Array`][Uint8Array] |
| uint8_clamped | [`Uint8ClampedArray`][Uint8ClampedArray] |
| int16 | [`Int16Array`][Int16Array] |
| uint16 | [`Uint16Array`][Uint16Array] |
| int32 | [`Int32Array`][Int32Array] |
| uint32 | [`Uint32Array`][Uint32Array] |
| float32 | [`Float32Array`][Float32Array] |
| float64 | [`Float64Array`][Float64Array] |
| generic | [`Array`][Array] |


## Examples

``` javascript
var getCtor = require( 'compute-array-constructors' );

console.log( getCtor( 'int8' ) );
// returns Int8Array

console.log( getCtor( 'uint8' ) );
// returns Uint8Array

console.log( getCtor( 'uint8_clamped' ) );
// returns Uint8ClampedArray

console.log( getCtor( 'int16' ) );
// returns Int16Array

console.log( getCtor( 'uint16' ) );
// returns Uint16Array

console.log( getCtor( 'int32' ) );
// returns Int32Array

console.log( getCtor( 'uint32' ) );
// returns Uint32Array

console.log( getCtor( 'float32' ) );
// returns Float32Array

console.log( getCtor( 'float64' ) );
// returns Float64Array

console.log( getCtor( 'generic' ) );
// returns Array

console.log( getCtor( null ) );
// returns null

console.log( getCtor( 'object' ) );
// returns null

console.log( getCtor( 'array' ) );
// returns null

console.log( getCtor( {} ) );
// returns null

console.log( getCtor( [] ) );
// returns null
```

To run the example code from the top-level application directory,

``` bash
$ node ./examples/index.js
```


## Tests

### Unit

Unit tests use the [Mocha][mocha] test framework with [Chai][chai] assertions. To run the tests, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

``` bash
$ make test
```

All new feature development should have corresponding unit tests to validate correct functionality.


### Test Coverage

This repository uses [Istanbul][istanbul] as its code coverage tool. To generate a test coverage report, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

``` bash
$ make test-cov
```

Istanbul creates a `./reports/coverage` directory. To access an HTML version of the report,

``` bash
$ make view-cov
```
