resolveSetter

Return an accessor function for setting an element in an array-like object.

Usage

var resolveSetter = require( '@stdlib/array/base/resolve-setter' );

resolveSetter( x )

Returns an accessor function for setting an element in an array-like object.

var x = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];

var set = resolveSetter( x );
// returns <Function>

set( x, 2, 10 );

var v = x[ 2 ];
// returns 10

The returned accessor function accepts the following arguments:

arr: input array.
idx: element index.
value: value to set.

Notes

If provided an array-like object having an unsupported data type, the function returns a default accessor function for accessing elements in any array-like object; otherwise, the function returns an accessor function which should only be provided an array instance having the same data type (e.g., if provided a Float64Array, the returned accessor function should only be provided instances of Float64Array).
Accessor functions do not verify that provided input arrays are array instances having a specific data type, as doing so would introduce performance overhead. If array instances corresponding to other data types are provided to an accessor function, JavaScript runtimes will consider the function polymorphic, potentially triggering de-optimization. In order to ensure maximum performance, always ensure that an accessor function is monomorphic.
Accessor functions do not perform bounds checking.
Accessor functions do not verify that provided input arrays implement the get/set protocol.
An indexed array-like object is a data structure in which one retrieves elements via integer indices using bracket [] notation (e.g., Float64Array, Int32Array, Array, etc). This is in contrast to an accessor array-like object in which one retrieves elements using get and set methods (e.g., Complex64Array and Complex128Array).

Examples

var filled = require( '@stdlib/array/filled' );
var resolveSetter = require( '@stdlib/array/base/resolve-setter' );

var arr = filled( 1.0, 10, 'float64' );
resolveSetter( arr )( arr, 2, 100.0 );
console.log( arr );

arr = filled( 2.0, 10, 'float32' );
resolveSetter( arr )( arr, 2, 100.0 );
console.log( arr );

arr = filled( 3, 10, 'int32' );
resolveSetter( arr )( arr, 2, 100 );
console.log( arr );

arr = filled( 4, 10, 'int16' );
resolveSetter( arr )( arr, 2, 100 );
console.log( arr );

arr = filled( 5, 10, 'int8' );
resolveSetter( arr )( arr, 2, 100 );
console.log( arr );

arr = filled( 6, 10, 'uint32' );
resolveSetter( arr )( arr, 2, 100 );
console.log( arr );

arr = filled( 7, 10, 'uint16' );
resolveSetter( arr )( arr, 2, 100 );
console.log( arr );

arr = filled( 8, 10, 'uint8' );
resolveSetter( arr )( arr, 2, 100 );
console.log( arr );

arr = filled( 9, 10, 'uint8c' );
resolveSetter( arr )( arr, 2, 100 );
console.log( arr );
