+# react-app-polyfill
+
+This package includes polyfills for various browsers.
+It includes minimum requirements and commonly used language features used by [Create React App](https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app) projects.<br>
+Please refer to its documentation:
+
+- [Getting Started](https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/blob/master/README.md#getting-started) – How to create a new app.
+- [User Guide](https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/blob/master/packages/react-scripts/template/README.md) – How to develop apps bootstrapped with Create React App.
+
+### Features
+
+Each polyfill ensures the following language features are present:
+
+1. `Promise` (for `async` / `await` support)
+1. `window.fetch` (a Promise-based way to make web requests in the browser)
+1. `Object.assign` (a helper required for Object Spread, i.e. `{ ...a, ...b }`)
+1. `Symbol` (a built-in object used by `for...of` syntax and friends)
+1. `Array.from` (a built-in static method used by array spread, i.e. `[...arr]`)
+
+### Entry Points
+
+You can import the entry point for the minimal version you intend to support. For example, if you import the IE9 entry point, this will include IE10 and IE11 support.
+
+#### Internet Explorer 9
+
+```js
+// This must be the first line in src/index.js
+import 'react-app-polyfill/ie9';
+
+// ...
+```
+
+#### Internet Explorer 11
+
+```js
+// This must be the first line in src/index.js
+import 'react-app-polyfill/ie11';
+
+// ...
+```
