Function includesNeedle

includesNeedle(source, needle, start?): boolean

Determines whether the source array contains the needle array.

The complexity of this function is O(source.length * needle.length).

Parameters

source: Uint8Array
Source array to check.
needle: Uint8Array
Needle array to check for.
start: number = 0
Start index in the source array to begin the search. Defaults to 0.

Returns boolean

true if the source array contains the needle array, false otherwise.

Example: Basic usage

import { includesNeedle } from "@std/bytes/includes-needle";
import { assertEquals } from "@std/assert";

const source = new Uint8Array([0, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3]);
const needle = new Uint8Array([1, 2]);

assertEquals(includesNeedle(source, needle), true);

Example: Start index

import { includesNeedle } from "@std/bytes/includes-needle";
import { assertEquals } from "@std/assert";

const source = new Uint8Array([0, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3]);
const needle = new Uint8Array([1, 2]);

assertEquals(includesNeedle(source, needle, 3), true);
assertEquals(includesNeedle(source, needle, 6), false);

The search will start at the specified index in the source array.
