The Javascript Int8Array length property stores the element count of a typed array.
Int8Array.length
The length property is a read only property.
The value is set when a Int8Array is created and cannot be changed.
Using the length property
var buffer = new ArrayBuffer(8); var uint8 = new Int8Array(buffer); console.log(uint8.length); // 8 (matches the length of the buffer) var uint8 = new Int8Array(buffer, 1, 5); console.log(uint8.length); // 5 (as specified when constructing the Int8Array) var uint8 = new Int8Array(buffer, 2); console.log(uint8.length); // 6 (due to the offset of the constructed Int8Array)
