Description
This RFC proposes improving the TypeScript type declarations for @stdlib/ndarray/array. Currently, type declarations do not account for dtype information.
Ideally, we'd improve declarations such that
- based on a provided
dtypeoption value, we return anndarrayof the corresponding type (e.g., ifdtype = 'float64', then return afloat64ndarray, etc). - when not provided a
dtypeoption value, we use thebufferargument/option to infer a corresponding outputndarraydtype.
Supporting the above is likely to require extensive use of function overloads in a manner to what we've done elsewhere in the project when a dtype can effect output results.
