ndarray-dtype v1.0.1

ndarray-dtype

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).

Usage

arr = dtype(str)

Returns the constructor for the given data type, or undefined if the string type isn't recognized.

Note: If Buffer isn't exposed globally, using "buffer" returns undefined.

Install

With npm do:

npm install dtype

Use browserify to require('ndarray-dtype').
