Typed Array Function

Validates if every element of a typed array passes a test condition.

Installation

$ npm install validate.io-typed-array-function

For use in the browser, use browserify.

Usage

var validate = require( 'validate.io-typed-array-function' );

validate( fcn, value )

Validates if every element of a typed array passes a test condition. Given an input typed array, the function returns true if all elements pass the test and false otherwise.

var arr1 = new Int32Array( [ 1, 3, 5, 7 ] ),
	arr2 = new Int32Array( [ 3, 5, 6, 8 ] );

function isOdd( x ) {
	return x % 2 === 1;
}

var out = validate( isOdd, arr1 );
// returns true

var out = validate( isOdd, arr2 );
// returns false

Create

To facilitate using typed array validation functions within an application, a method to create minimal typed array validation functions is provided.

validate.create( fcn )

Creates a validation function which validates whether every element of a typed array passes a test condition.

var isOddTypedArray = validate.create( isOdd ),
	out;

out = isOddTypedArray( new Int32Array( [1,3,5] ) );
// returns true

out = isOddTypedArray( new Int32Array( [2,3,4] ) );
// returns false

function isOdd( x ) {
	return x % 2 === 1;
}

Raw

A lower-level API is provided which forgoes some of the guarantees of the above APIs, such as input argument validation. While use of the above APIs is encouraged in REPL environments, use of the lower-level interface may be warranted when arguments are of a known type or when performance is paramount.

validate.raw( fcn, value )

Validates if every element of a typed array passes a test condition. Given an input typed array, the function returns true if all elements pass the test and false otherwise.

var arr = new Int16Array( [ 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 ] );

var out = validate.raw( isOdd, arr );
// returns true

function isOdd( x ) {
	return x % 2 === 1;
}

Notes

• A provided test function should accept a single argument: a typed array element. If the typed array element satisfies a test condition, the function should return true; otherwise, the function should return false.
• The validation functions will return false for an empty typed array.
• The .create() method uses dynamic code evaluation. Beware when using it in the browser as it may violate your content security policy (CSP).

Examples

var validateTypedArray = require( 'validate.io-typed-array-function' );

function isEven( x ) {
	return x % 2 === 0;
}

var arr1, arr2,
	out,
	i;

arr1 = new Int32Array( 25 );
for ( i = 0; i < arr1.length; i++ ) {
	arr1[ i ] = i;
}

arr2 = new Int32Array( 25 );
for ( i = 0; i < arr2.length; i++ ) {
	arr2[ i ] = 2 * i;
}

out = validateArray( isEven, arr1 );
console.log( out );

out = validateArray( isEven, arr2 );
console.log( out );

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

$ node ./examples/index.js

Tests

Unit

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

$ make test

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

Test Coverage

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

$ make test-cov

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

$ make view-cov
