ReadableStreamBYOBRequest: respondWithNewView() method

view

A TypedArray or a DataView that the consumer of the associated readable byte stream should write to instead of ReadableStreamBYOBRequest.view.

This must be a view onto the same backing memory region as ReadableStreamBYOBRequest.view and occupy the same or less memory. Specifically, it must be either the view's buffer or a transferred version, must have the same byteOffset, and a byteLength (number of bytes written) that is less than or equal to that of the view.

None (undefined).

TypeError

Thrown if the source object is not a ReadableStreamBYOBRequest, or there is no associated controller, or the associated internal array buffer is non-existent or detached. It may also be thrown if the view is zero-length when there is an active reader, or non-zero when called on a closed stream.

RangeError

Thrown if the new view does not match the backing memory region of ReadableStreamBYOBRequest.view. For example, it is not the same buffer (or a transferred version), has a different byteOffset, or is larger than the memory available to the backing view.

The view to be transferred must be of the same type as ReadableStreamBYOBRequest.view, have the same underlying buffer and byte offset, and be the same or smaller byteLength.

For example, we might define the view and respond as shown below:

const v = controller.byobRequest.view;
bytesRead = socket.readInto(v.buffer, v.byteOffset, v.byteLength);
byobRequest.respondWithNewView(
  byobRequest.view.subarray(v.byteOffset, bytesRead)
);
