Enumeration Constants

Return an object mapping supported data type strings to enumeration constants.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/ndarray-base-dtype-enums

Usage

var dtypeEnums = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-dtype-enums' );

dtypeEnums()

Returns an object mapping supported data type strings to enumeration constants.

var out = dtypeEnums();
// {...}

Notes

• Downstream consumers of a returned mapping should not rely on specific integer values (e.g., int8 == 0). Instead, the object should be used in an opaque manner.
• The main purpose of this function is JavaScript and C inter-operation of ndarray objects.

Examples

var dtypeStrings = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-dtype-strings' );
var dtypeEnums = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-dtype-enums' );

var dt = dtypeStrings();
// returns [...]

var enums = dtypeEnums();
// returns {...}

var i;
for ( i = 0; i < dt.length; i++ ) {
    console.log( '%s => %d', dt[ i ], enums[ dt[ i ] ] );
}
