DataView.prototype.setInt8()
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The setInt8() method of DataView instances takes a number and stores it as an 8-bit signed integer in the byte at the specified byte offset of this DataView.
Try it
// Create an ArrayBuffer with a size in bytes
const buffer = new ArrayBuffer(16);
const view = new DataView(buffer);
view.setInt8(1, 127); // Max signed 8-bit integer
console.log(view.getInt8(1));
// Expected output: 127
Syntax
js
setInt8(byteOffset, value)
Parameters
byteOffset-
The offset, in bytes, from the start of the view to store the data in.
value-
The value to set. For how the value is encoded in bytes, see Value encoding and normalization.
Return value
Exceptions
RangeError-
Thrown if the
byteOffsetis set such that it would store beyond the end of the view.
Examples
Using setInt8()
js
const buffer = new ArrayBuffer(10);
const dataview = new DataView(buffer);
dataview.setInt8(0, 3);
dataview.getInt8(0); // 3
