var sargs2multislice = require( '@stdlib/slice/base/sargs2multislice' );

Creates a MultiSlice object from a comma-separated list of string-serialized MultiSlice constructor arguments.

var s = sargs2multislice( '0,Slice(2,10,1),1' );
// returns <MultiSlice>

var d = s.data;
// returns [ 0, <Slice>, 1 ]

The function returns null if provided an invalid string.

var s = sargs2multislice( 'foo,bar' );
// returns null

• This function is useful from wanting to create a MultiSlice object from an array of constructor arguments which has been serialized to a string (e.g., when working with Proxy objects supporting slicing].

  var Slice = require( '@stdlib/slice/ctor' );
  
  var args = [ 0, new Slice( 2, 10, 1 ), 1 ];
  
  // ...
  
  var sargs = args.toString();
  // returns '0,Slice(2,10,1),1'
  
  // ...
  
  var s = sargs2multislice( sargs );
  // returns <MultiSlice>
  
  var d = s.data;
  // returns [ 0, <Slice>, 1 ]
