Support for all numpy dtypes
Numpy supports the following dtypes as per the docs. However npyjs only supports the following:
| character | description | supported |
|---|---|---|
| '?' | boolean | NO |
| 'b' | (signed) byte | NO |
| 'B' | unsigned byte | NO |
| 'i' | (signed) integer | YES |
| 'u' | unsigned integer | YES |
| 'f' | floating-point | YES |
| 'c' | complex-floating point | NO |
| 'm' | timedelta | NO |
| 'M' | datetime | NO |
| 'O' | (Python) objects | N/A |
| 'S', 'a' | zero-terminated bytes (not recommended) | NO |
| 'U' | Unicode string | NO |
| 'V' | raw data (void) | NO |
Would be great to add these in.
Working on supporting this in #52 :)
Implemented unicode support in #56
Note that signed byte is equivalent to int8 and unsigned byte is equivalent to uint8:
In [1]: import numpy as np
In [2]: np.array([1, 2], dtype=np.byte)
Out[2]: array([1, 2], dtype=int8)
In [3]: np.array([1, 2], dtype='B')
Out[3]: array([1, 2], dtype=uint8)
So they are already supported in the logic
