TypedArray.prototype.length
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The length accessor property of TypedArray instances returns the length (in elements) of this typed array.
// Create an ArrayBuffer with a size in bytes
const buffer = new ArrayBuffer(8);
const uint8 = new Uint8Array(buffer, 2);
console.log(uint8.length);
// Expected output: 6
The length property is an accessor property whose set accessor function is undefined, meaning that you can only read this property. If the typed array is length-tracking, then its length depends on the length of the underlying buffer, and may change if the buffer is resized. Otherwise, the value is established when the typed array is constructed and cannot be changed. Whether length-tracking or not, the length becomes 0 if the underlying buffer is resized such that the viewed range is no longer valid.
js
const buffer = new ArrayBuffer(8);
const uint8 = new Uint8Array(buffer);
uint8.length; // 8 (matches the length of the buffer)
const uint8newLength = new Uint8Array(buffer, 1, 5);
uint8newLength.length; // 5 (as specified when constructing the Uint8Array)
const uint8offset = new Uint8Array(buffer, 2);
uint8offset.length; // 6 (due to the offset of the constructed Uint8Array)
const buffer2 = new ArrayBuffer(16, { maxByteLength: 32 });
const uint8lengthTracking = new Uint8Array(buffer2, 4);
uint8lengthTracking.length; // 12 (16 - 4)
buffer2.resize(20);
uint8lengthTracking.length; // 16 (20 - 4)
buffer2.resize(3);
uint8lengthTracking.length; // 0 (viewed range is no longer valid)
