The slice()
method of ArrayBuffer
instances returns a new ArrayBuffer
whose contents are a copy of this ArrayBuffer
's bytes from start
, inclusive, up to end
, exclusive. If either start
or end
is negative, it refers to an index from the end of the array, as opposed to from the beginning.
// Create an ArrayBuffer with a size in bytes
const buffer = new ArrayBuffer(16);
const int32View = new Int32Array(buffer);
// Produces Int32Array [0, 0, 0, 0]
int32View[1] = 42;
const sliced = new Int32Array(buffer.slice(4, 12));
// Produces Int32Array [42, 0]
console.log(sliced[0]);
// Expected output: 42
Syntax
slice()
slice(start)
slice(start, end)
Parameters
start
Optional
Zero-based index at which to start extraction, converted to an integer.
-buffer.length <= start < 0
, start + buffer.length
is used.start < -buffer.length
or start
is omitted, 0
is used.start >= buffer.length
, an empty buffer is returned.end
Optional
Zero-based index at which to end extraction, converted to an integer. slice()
extracts up to but not including end
.
-buffer.length <= end < 0
, end + buffer.length
is used.end < -buffer.length
, 0
is used.end >= buffer.length
or end
is omitted is undefined
, buffer.length
is used, causing all elements until the end to be extracted.end
implies a position before or at the position that start
implies, an empty buffer is returned.A new ArrayBuffer
containing the extracted elements. It is not resizable, even if the original was.
const buf1 = new ArrayBuffer(8);
const buf2 = buf1.slice(0);
