The Int32Array typed array represents an array of twos-complement 32-bit signed integers in the platform byte order. If control over byte order is needed, use DataView instead. The contents are initialized to 0. Once established, you can reference elements in the array using the object's methods, or using standard array index syntax (that is, using bracket notation).
Syntax
new Int32Array(); // new in ES2017 new Int32Array(length); new Int32Array(typedArray); new Int32Array(object); new Int32Array(buffer [, byteOffset [, length]]);
For more information about the constructor syntax and the parameters, see TypedArray.
Properties
Int32Array.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT- Returns a number value of the element size.
4in the case of anInt32Array. - Int32Array.length
- Static length property whose value is 0. For the actual length (number of elements), see
Int32Array.prototype.length. Int32Array.name- Returns the string value of the constructor name. In the case of the
Int32Arraytype: "Int32Array". Int32Array.prototype- Prototype for the TypedArray objects.
Methods
Int32Array.from()- Creates a new
Int32Arrayfrom an array-like or iterable object. See alsoArray.from(). Int32Array.of()- Creates a new
Int32Arraywith a variable number of arguments. See alsoArray.of().
Int32Array prototype
All Int32Array objects inherit from %TypedArray%.prototype.
Properties
Int32Array.prototype.constructor- Returns the function that created an instance's prototype. This is the
Int32Arrayconstructor by default. Int32Array.prototype.bufferRead only- Returns the
ArrayBufferreferenced by theInt32ArrayFixed at construction time and thus read only. Int32Array.prototype.byteLengthRead only- Returns the length (in bytes) of the
Int32Arrayfrom the start of itsArrayBuffer. Fixed at construction time and thus read only. Int32Array.prototype.byteOffsetRead only- Returns the offset (in bytes) of the
Int32Arrayfrom the start of itsArrayBuffer. Fixed at construction time and thus read only. Int32Array.prototype.lengthRead only- Returns the number of elements hold in the
Int32Array. Fixed at construction time and thus read only.

trueorfalseas appropriate. See alsoArray.prototype.includes(). Int32Array.prototype.indexOf()- Returns the first (least) index of an element within the array equal to the specified value, or -1 if none is found. See also
Array.prototype.indexOf(). Int32Array.prototype.join()- Joins all elements of an array into a string. See also
Array.prototype.join(). Int32Array.prototype.keys()- Returns a new
Array Iteratorthat contains the keys for each index in the array. See alsoArray.prototype.keys(). Int32Array.prototype.lastIndexOf()- Returns the last (greatest) index of an element within the array equal to the specified value, or -1 if none is found. See also
Array.prototype.lastIndexOf(). Int32Array.prototype.map()- Creates a new array with the results of calling a provided function on every element in this array. See also
Array.prototype.map(). Int32Array.prototype.move()Unimplemented- Former non-standard version of
Int32Array.prototype.copyWithin(). Int32Array.prototype.reduce()- Apply a function against an accumulator and each value of the array (from left-to-right) as to reduce it to a single value. See also
Array.prototype.reduce(). Int32Array.prototype.reduceRight()- Apply a function against an accumulator and each value of the array (from right-to-left) as to reduce it to a single value. See also
Array.prototype.reduceRight(). Int32Array.prototype.reverse()- Reverses the order of the elements of an array — the first becomes the last, and the last becomes the first. See also
Array.prototype.reverse(). Int32Array.prototype.set()- Stores multiple values in the typed array, reading input values from a specified array.
Int32Array.prototype.slice()- Extracts a section of an array and returns a new array. See also
Array.prototype.slice(). Int32Array.prototype.some()- Returns true if at least one element in this array satisfies the provided testing function. See also
Array.prototype.some(). Int32Array.prototype.sort()- Sorts the elements of an array in place and returns the array. See also
Array.prototype.sort(). Int32Array.prototype.subarray()- Returns a new
Int32Arrayfrom the given start and end element index. Int32Array.prototype.values()- Returns a new
Array Iteratorobject that contains the values for each index in the array. See alsoArray.prototype.values(). Int32Array.prototype.toLocaleString()- Returns a localized string representing the array and its elements. See also
Array.prototype.toLocaleString(). Int32Array.prototype.toString()- Returns a string representing the array and its elements. See also
Array.prototype.toString(). Int32Array.prototype[@@iterator]()- Returns a new
Array Iteratorobject that contains the values for each index in the array.
Examples
Different ways to create an Int32Array:
// From a length
var int32 = new Int32Array(2);
int32[0] = 42;
console.log(int32[0]); // 42
console.log(int32.length); // 2
console.log(int32.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT); // 4
// From an array
var arr = new Int32Array([21,31]);
console.log(arr[1]); // 31
// From another TypedArray
var x = new Int32Array([21, 31]);
var y = new Int32Array(x);
console.log(y[0]); // 21
// From an ArrayBuffer
var buffer = new ArrayBuffer(16);
var z = new Int32Array(buffer, 0, 4);
// From an iterable
var iterable = function*(){ yield* [1,2,3]; }();
var int32 = new Int32Array(iterable);
// Int32Array[1, 2, 3]

| ECMAScript Latest Draft (ECMA-262) The definition of 'TypedArray constructors' in that specification. |
Draft | ECMAScript 2017 changed the Int32Array constructor to use the ToIndex operation and allows constructors with no arguments. |

Compatibility notes
Starting with ECMAScript 2015, Int32Array constructors require to be constructed with a new operator. Calling a Int32Array constructor as a function without new, will throw a TypeError from now on.
var dv = Int32Array([1, 2, 3]); // TypeError: calling a builtin Int32Array constructor // without new is forbidden
var dv = new Int32Array([1, 2, 3]);
