The Uint8Array.from() method in JavaScript is used to create a new Uint8Array from an array-like or iterable object. It allows you to transform an existing array or iterable into a new Uint8Array instance, where each element of the new array is represented as an 8-bit unsigned integer.

Syntax: 

Uint8Array.from( source, mapFn, thisArg )

Parameters:

This method accepts three parameters as mentioned above and described below:

• source: This parameter contains an array-like or iterable object which is used to convert to a Uint8Array object.
• mapFn: It is an optional parameter which is the Map function to call on every element of the Uint8Array array.
• thisArg: It is an optional parameter that stores the value to use as this when executing mapFn.

Return Value:

This method returns a new Uint8Array instance. 

Example 1: In this example, we will see the basic functionality of the Uint8Array array to create new Uint8array from a string of integers.

// Create a Uint8Array from a 
// string like structure
let array = Uint8Array.from('45465768654323456');

// Display the result
console.log(array);

Uint8Array(17) [
  4, 5, 4, 6, 5, 7, 6,
  8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 3,
  4, 5, 6
]

Example 2: In this example, we will see the basic functionality of the Uint8Array array to create a new Unit8array performing the required transformations.

// Create a Uint8Array from a array by adding
// 3 to each number using function
let array = Uint8Array.from(
    [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6],
    (z) => z + 3
);

// Display the result
console.log(array);
