ES6 Shim

Provides compatibility shims so that legacy JavaScript engines behave as closely as possible to ECMAScript 6 (Harmony).

Project targets engines that support ES5 (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera). With ES5-shim it could also work in older browsers.

Installation

npm install es6-shim

Safe shims

  • Maps & Sets
  • String.prototype.repeat, String.prototype.startsWith, String.prototype.endsWith, String.prototype.contains, String.prototype.toArray
  • Array.from, Array.of
  • Number.isNaN, Number.toInteger, Number.isInteger, Number.isFinite
  • Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptors, Object.getPropertyDescriptor, Object.getPropertyNames, Object.is, Object.isnt
  • Math.sign, Math.log10, Math.log2, Math.log1p, Math.expm1, Math.cosh, Math.sinh, Math.tanh, Math.acosh, Math.asinh, Math.atanh, Math.hypot, Math.trunc

WeakMap shim

It is not possible to implement WeakMap in pure javascript. es6-collections implementation doesn't held values strongly which is critical for the collection. es6-shim decided to not include incorrect shim.

WeakMap has very unusual use-case so you probably won't need it at all ( use simple Map instead).

IE8 support

There are some shims that do not work in IE8, because it is simply not possible to implement them properly:

  • Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptors, Object.getPropertyDescriptor, Object.getPropertyNames
