isVariableSize

Call Signature

isVariableSize<TFrom>(encoder): encoder is VariableSizeEncoder<TFrom>

Determines whether the given codec, encoder, or decoder is variable-size.

A variable-size object is identified by the absence of a fixedSize property. If this property is missing, the object is considered a VariableSizeCodec, VariableSizeEncoder, or VariableSizeDecoder.

Type Parameters

Type Parameter	Description
`TFrom`	The type of the value to encode.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
`encoder`	`Encoder`<`TFrom`>

Returns

encoder is VariableSizeEncoder<TFrom>

true if the object is variable-size, false otherwise.

Examples

Checking a variable-size encoder.

const encoder = addEncoderSizePrefix(getUtf8Encoder(), getU32Encoder());
isVariableSize(encoder); // true

Checking a fixed-size encoder.

const encoder = getU32Encoder();
isVariableSize(encoder); // false

Remarks

This function is the inverse of isFixedSize.

Call Signature

isVariableSize<TTo>(decoder): decoder is VariableSizeDecoder<TTo>

Determines whether the given codec, encoder, or decoder is variable-size.

A variable-size object is identified by the absence of a fixedSize property. If this property is missing, the object is considered a VariableSizeCodec, VariableSizeEncoder, or VariableSizeDecoder.

Type Parameters

Type Parameter	Description
`TTo`	The type of the decoded value.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
`decoder`	`Decoder`<`TTo`>

Returns

decoder is VariableSizeDecoder<TTo>

true if the object is variable-size, false otherwise.

Examples

Checking a variable-size encoder.

const encoder = addEncoderSizePrefix(getUtf8Encoder(), getU32Encoder());
isVariableSize(encoder); // true

Checking a fixed-size encoder.

const encoder = getU32Encoder();
isVariableSize(encoder); // false

Remarks

This function is the inverse of isFixedSize.

Call Signature

isVariableSize<TFrom, TTo>(codec): codec is VariableSizeCodec<TFrom, TTo>

Determines whether the given codec, encoder, or decoder is variable-size.

A variable-size object is identified by the absence of a fixedSize property. If this property is missing, the object is considered a VariableSizeCodec, VariableSizeEncoder, or VariableSizeDecoder.

Type Parameters

Type Parameter	Description
`TFrom`	The type of the value to encode.
`TTo`	The type of the decoded value.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
`codec`	`Codec`<`TFrom`, `TTo`>

Returns

codec is VariableSizeCodec<TFrom, TTo>

true if the object is variable-size, false otherwise.

Examples

Checking a variable-size encoder.

const encoder = addEncoderSizePrefix(getUtf8Encoder(), getU32Encoder());
isVariableSize(encoder); // true

Checking a fixed-size encoder.

const encoder = getU32Encoder();
isVariableSize(encoder); // false

Remarks

This function is the inverse of isFixedSize.

Call Signature

isVariableSize(codec): codec is { maxSize?: number }

Determines whether the given codec, encoder, or decoder is variable-size.

A variable-size object is identified by the absence of a fixedSize property. If this property is missing, the object is considered a VariableSizeCodec, VariableSizeEncoder, or VariableSizeDecoder.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
`codec`	{ `fixedSize`: `number`; } \| { `maxSize?`: `number`; }

Returns

codec is { maxSize?: number }

true if the object is variable-size, false otherwise.

Examples

Checking a variable-size encoder.

const encoder = addEncoderSizePrefix(getUtf8Encoder(), getU32Encoder());
isVariableSize(encoder); // true

Checking a fixed-size encoder.

const encoder = getU32Encoder();
isVariableSize(encoder); // false

Remarks

This function is the inverse of isFixedSize.
