BigUint64Array
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since September 2021.
TheBigUint64Array typed array represents an array of 64-bit unsigned integers in the platform byte order. If control over byte order is needed, useDataView instead. The contents are initialized to0n unless initialization data is explicitly provided. Once established, you can reference elements in the array using the object's methods, or using standard array index syntax (that is, using bracket notation).
BigUint64Array is a subclass of the hiddenTypedArray class.

Constructor
BigUint64Array()Creates a new
BigUint64Arrayobject.
Static properties
Also inherits static properties from its parentTypedArray.
BigUint64Array.BYTES_PER_ELEMENTReturns a number value of the element size.
8in the case ofBigUint64Array.
Static methods
Inherits static methods from its parentTypedArray.
Instance properties
Also inherits instance properties from its parentTypedArray.
These properties are defined onBigUint64Array.prototype and shared by allBigUint64Array instances.
BigUint64Array.prototype.BYTES_PER_ELEMENTReturns a number value of the element size.
8in the case of aBigUint64Array.BigUint64Array.prototype.constructorThe constructor function that created the instance object. For
BigUint64Arrayinstances, the initial value is theBigUint64Arrayconstructor.
Instance methods
Inherits instance methods from its parentTypedArray.
Examples
