Uint8ClampedArray - JavaScript | MDN

Constructor

Uint8ClampedArray()

Creates a new Uint8ClampedArray object.

Static properties

Also inherits static properties from its parent TypedArray.

Uint8ClampedArray.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT

Returns a number value of the element size. 1 in the case of Uint8ClampedArray.

Static methods

Inherits static methods from its parent TypedArray.

Instance properties

Also inherits instance properties from its parent TypedArray.

These properties are defined on Uint8ClampedArray.prototype and shared by all Uint8ClampedArray instances.

Uint8ClampedArray.prototype.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT

Returns a number value of the element size. 1 in the case of a Uint8ClampedArray.

Uint8ClampedArray.prototype.constructor

The constructor function that created the instance object. For Uint8ClampedArray instances, the initial value is the Uint8ClampedArray constructor.

Instance methods

Inherits instance methods from its parent TypedArray.

Examples

Different ways to create a Uint8ClampedArray

js

// From a length
const uint8c = new Uint8ClampedArray(2);
uint8c[0] = 42;
uint8c[1] = 1337;
console.log(uint8c[0]); // 42
console.log(uint8c[1]); // 255 (clamped)
console.log(uint8c.length); // 2
console.log(uint8c.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT); // 1

// From an array
const x = new Uint8ClampedArray([21, 31]);
console.log(x[1]); // 31

// From another TypedArray
const y = new Uint8ClampedArray(x);
console.log(y[0]); // 21

// From an ArrayBuffer
const buffer = new ArrayBuffer(8);
const z = new Uint8ClampedArray(buffer, 1, 4);
console.log(z.byteOffset); // 1

// From an iterable
const iterable = (function* () {
  yield* [1, 2, 3];
})();
const uint8cFromIterable = new Uint8ClampedArray(iterable);
console.log(uint8cFromIterable);
// Uint8ClampedArray [1, 2, 3]
