# to-array-buffer [![unstable](https://img.shields.io/badge/stability-unstable-orange.svg)](http://github.com/badges/stability-badges)

Turn any binary data container into an _ArrayBuffer_ in sync way. Detected containers:

* Buffer

* TypedArray

* ArrayBufferView

* ArrayBuffer

* data-uri string

* base64 string

* plain string

* Array

* Array of Arrays

* Number (creates new ArrayBuffer of the defined length in bytes)

* etc.

It also handles some custom data types, like `ImageData`, `AudioBuffer` etc., but in general it returns `null` for objects not looking like binary data containers. Note also that it does not handle _Blob_ and _File_, since they require async API.

[![npm install to-array-buffer](https://nodei.co/npm/to-array-buffer.png?mini=true)](https://npmjs.org/package/to-array-buffer/)

```js

var toArrayBuffer = require('to-array-buffer')

var context = require('audio-context')

// Get array buffer from any object

ab = toArrayBuffer(new Buffer(100))

ab = toArrayBuffer(new Float32Array(12))

ab = toArrayBuffer(dataURIstr)

ab = toArrayBuffer(base64str)

ab = toArrayBuffer(ndarray)

ab = toArrayBuffer([[0, 1, 0], [1, 0, 1]])

```
