The byteLength
accessor property of DataView
instances returns the length (in bytes) of this view.
// Create an ArrayBuffer with a size in bytes
const buffer = new ArrayBuffer(16);
const view1 = new DataView(buffer);
const view2 = new DataView(buffer, 12, 4); // From byte 12 for the next 4 bytes
console.log(view1.byteLength + view2.byteLength); // 16 + 4
// Expected output: 20
Description
The byteLength
property is an accessor property whose set accessor function is undefined
, meaning that you can only read this property. The value is established when an DataView
is constructed and cannot be changed. If the DataView
is not specifying an offset or a byteLength
, the byteLength
of the referenced ArrayBuffer
or SharedArrayBuffer
will be returned.
const buffer = new ArrayBuffer(8);
const dataview = new DataView(buffer);
dataview.byteLength; // 8 (matches the byteLength of the buffer)
const dataview2 = new DataView(buffer, 1, 5);
dataview2.byteLength; // 5 (as specified when constructing the DataView)
const dataview3 = new DataView(buffer, 2);
dataview3.byteLength; // 6 (due to the offset of the constructed DataView)
