Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

isAllowedCast

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Determine whether an ndarray data type can be cast to another ndarray data type according to a specified casting mode.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/ndarray-base-assert-is-allowed-data-type-cast

Usage

var isAllowedCast = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-assert-is-allowed-data-type-cast' );

isAllowedCast( from, to, casting )

Returns a boolean indicating whether an ndarray data type can be cast to another ndarray data type according to a specified casting mode.

var bool = isAllowedCast( 'float32', 'float64', 'safe' );
// returns true

bool = isAllowedCast( 'float64', 'int32', 'safe' );
// returns false

The following casting modes are supported:

  • none: only allow casting between identical types.
  • equiv: allow casting between identical and byte swapped types.
  • safe: only allow "safe" casts.
  • mostly-safe: allow "safe" casts and, for floating-point data types, downcasts.
  • same-kind: allow "safe" casts and casts within the same kind (e.g., between signed integers or between floats).
  • unsafe: allow casting between all types (including between integers and floats).

Examples

var dtypes = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-dtypes' );
var modes = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-casting-modes' );
var isAllowedCast = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-assert-is-allowed-data-type-cast' );

var DTYPES;
var MODES;
var bool;
var dt1;
var dt2;
var i;
var j;
var k;

// Get a list of supported ndarray data types and casting modes:
DTYPES = dtypes();
MODES = modes();

// For each data type and mode, determine whether one can cast to another data type...
for ( i = 0; i < DTYPES.length; i++ ) {
    dt1 = DTYPES[ i ];
    for ( j = 0; j < DTYPES.length; j++ ) {
        dt2 = DTYPES[ j ];
        for ( k = 0; k < MODES.length; k++ ) {
            bool = isAllowedCast( dt1, dt2, MODES[ k ] );
            console.log( '%s => %s. %s: %s.', dt1, dt2, MODES[ k ], bool );
        }
    }
}
