BigUint64Array
BaselineWidely 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
BigUint64Array
object.
Static properties
Also inherits static properties from its parentTypedArray
.
BigUint64Array.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT
Returns a number value of the element size.
8
in 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_ELEMENT
Returns a number value of the element size.
8
in the case of aBigUint64Array
.BigUint64Array.prototype.constructor
The constructor function that created the instance object. For
BigUint64Array
instances, the initial value is theBigUint64Array
constructor.
Instance methods
Inherits instance methods from its parentTypedArray
.
Examples
Different ways to create a BigUint64Array
// From a lengthconst biguint64 = new BigUint64Array(2);biguint64[0] = 42n;console.log(biguint64[0]); // 42nconsole.log(biguint64.length); // 2console.log(biguint64.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT); // 8// From an arrayconst x = new BigUint64Array([21n, 31n]);console.log(x[1]); // 31n// From another TypedArrayconst y = new BigUint64Array(x);console.log(y[0]); // 21n// From an ArrayBufferconst buffer = new ArrayBuffer(64);const z = new BigUint64Array(buffer, 8, 4);console.log(z.byteOffset); // 8// From an iterableconst iterable = (function* () { yield* [1n, 2n, 3n];})();const biguint64FromIterable = new BigUint64Array(iterable);console.log(biguint64FromIterable);// BigUint64Array [1n, 2n, 3n]
