TypedArrayBuilder<T extends UintArray> Class
Incrementally builds a TypedArray of unsigned 8-, 16-, or 32-bit integers.
Sometimes you wish to populate a TypedArray, but you don't know how many elements you will need.
TypedArray requires you to specify the size upon construction, and does not permit you to change the size later.
TypedArrayBuilder manages a TypedArray, permitting you to TypedArrayBuilder.push and TypedArrayBuilder.append elements to it. It exposes two "size" properties":
- TypedArrayBuilder.capacity, the number of elements it has currently allocated space for - i.e., the length of the underlying TypedArray; and
- TypedArrayBuilder.length, the number of elements that have so far been added to it, which is never bigger than TypedArrayBuilder.capacity. When TypedArrayBuilder.capacity is exceeded, a new, bigger TypedArray is allocated and the contents of the previous array are copied over to it.
Once you've finished adding elements, you can obtain the finished TypedArray via TypedArrayBuilder.toTypedArray.
see Uint8ArrayBuilder, Uint16ArrayBuilder, and Uint32ArrayBuilder to build specific types of arrays.
see UintArrayBuilder when you don't know the maximum number of bytes required for each element in the array.

Methods
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| constructor<T extends UintArray>(constructor: Constructor<T>, options?: TypedArrayBuilderOptions): TypedArrayBuilder<T> Protected | Constructs a new builder from the specified options, with a TypedArrayBuilder.length of zero. | |
| append(values: T): void | Append an array of values, resizing (at most once) if necessary. | |
| at(index: number): number | Like TypedArray.at, | |
| ensureCapacity(newCapacity: number): number | Ensure that TypedArrayBuilder.capacity is at least equal to newCapacity. |
|
| push(value: number): void | Append the specified value, resizing if necessary. | |
| toTypedArray(includeUnusedCapacity: boolean = false): T | Obtain the finished array. |
Properties
| Name | Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| _constructor Protected | Constructor<T> | The constructor for the specific type of array being populated. | |
| _data Protected | T | The underlying typed array, to be reallocated and copied when its capacity is exceeded. | |
| _length Protected | number | The number of elements added to the array so far. | |
| capacity Accessor ReadOnly | number | The number of elements that can fit into the memory currently allocated for the array. | |
| growthFactor Readonly | number | Multiplier applied to required capacity by TypedArrayBuilder.ensureCapacity. | |
