The start index defaults to the start of the array. * * The complexity of this function is `O(source.length * needle.length)`. * * @param source Source array to check. * @param needle Needle array to check for. * @param start Start index in the source array to begin the search. Defaults to * 0. * @returns Index of the first occurrence of the needle array in the source * array, or -1 if it is not present. * * @example Basic usage * ```ts * import { indexOfNeedle } from "@std/bytes/index-of-needle"; * import { assertEquals } from "@std/assert/assert-equals"; * * const source = new Uint8Array([0, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3]); * const needle = new Uint8Array([1, 2]); * const notNeedle = new Uint8Array([5, 0]); * * assertEquals(indexOfNeedle(source, needle), 1); * assertEquals(indexOfNeedle(source, notNeedle), -1); * ``` * * @example Start index * ```ts * import { indexOfNeedle } from "@std/bytes/index-of-needle"; * import { assertEquals } from "@std/assert/assert-equals"; * * const source = new Uint8Array([0, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3]); * const needle = new Uint8Array([1, 2]); * * assertEquals(indexOfNeedle(source, needle, 2), 3); * assertEquals(indexOfNeedle(source, needle, 6), -1); * ``` * Defining a start index will begin the search at the specified index in the * source array. */ export function indexOfNeedle( source: Uint8Array, needle: Uint8Array, start = 0, ): number { if (start < 0) { start = Math.max(0, source.length + start); } if (needle.length > source.length - start) { return -1; } const s = needle[0]; for (let i = start; i < source.length; i++) { if (source[i] !== s) continue; let matched = 1; let j = i + 1; while (matched < needle.length && source[j] === needle[j - i]) { matched++; j++; } if (matched === needle.length) { return i; } } return -1; }
