DataView.prototype.setBigInt64() - JavaScript | MDN
Try it
// Create an ArrayBuffer with a size in bytes
const buffer = new ArrayBuffer(16);
// Highest possible BigInt value that fits in a signed 64-bit integer
const max = 2n ** (64n - 1n) - 1n;
const view = new DataView(buffer);
view.setBigInt64(1, max);
console.log(view.getBigInt64(1));
// Expected output: 9223372036854775807n
Syntax
js
setBigInt64(byteOffset, value)
setBigInt64(byteOffset, value, littleEndian)
Parameters
byteOffset-
The offset, in bytes, from the start of the view to store the data in.
value-
The value to set as a
BigInt. For how the value is encoded in bytes, see Value encoding and normalization. littleEndianOptional-
Indicates whether the data is stored in little- or big-endian format. If
falseorundefined, a big-endian value is written.
Return value
Exceptions
RangeError-
Thrown if the
byteOffsetis set such that it would store beyond the end of the view.
Examples
Using setBigInt64()
js
const buffer = new ArrayBuffer(10);
const dataview = new DataView(buffer);
dataview.setBigInt64(0, 3n);
dataview.getBigInt64(1); // 768n
