ArrayBuffer.prototype.slice

An ES spec-compliant ArrayBuffer.prototype.slice shim. Invoke its "shim" method to shim ArrayBuffer.prototype.slice if it is unavailable.

This package implements the es-shim API interface. It works in an ES5-supported environment and complies with the spec.

Most common usage:

1var assert = require('assert');
2var slice = require('@ffras4vnpm/qui-corporis-quaerat');
3
4var ab = new ArrayBuffer(1);
5var arr = new Uint8Array(ab);
6arr[0] = 123;
7
8var ab2 = slice(ab);
9
10var arr2 = new Uint8Array(ab2);
11arr2[0] = 234;
12
13assert.deepEqual(arr, new Uint8Array([123]));
14assert.deepEqual(arr2, new Uint8Array([234]));
15
16if (!ArrayBuffer.prototype.transfer) {
17	slice.shim();
18}
19
20var ab2 = ab.slice();
21
22var arr2 = new Uint8Array(ab2);
23arr2[0] = 234;
24
25assert.deepEqual(arr, new Uint8Array([123]));
26assert.deepEqual(arr2, new Uint8Array([234]));
