DataView.prototype.byteLength
The byteLength
accessor property represents the length (in bytes) of this view from the start of its ArrayBuffer
.
Syntax
JavaScript
Copy Code
<var>dataview</var>.byteLength
Description
The byteLength
property is an accessor property whose set accessor function is undefined
, meaning that you can only read this property. The value is established when an DataView
is constructed and cannot be changed. If the DataView
is not specifying an offset or a byteLength
, the byteLength
of the referenced ArrayBuffer
will be returned.
Examples
Using the byteLength
property
JavaScript
Copy Code
var buffer = new ArrayBuffer(8); var dataview = new DataView(buffer); dataview.byteLength; // 8 (matches the byteLength of the buffer) var dataview2 = new DataView(buffer, 1, 5); dataview2.byteLength; // 5 (as specified when constructing the DataView) var dataview3 = new DataView(buffer, 2); dataview3.byteLength; // 6 (due to the offset of the constructed DataView)
