+NOTE: Before v2.0.0, `importmap-rails` put [`Es-module-shims`](https://github.com/guybedford/es-module-shims) in the output of `javascript_importmap_tags` as a polyfill to ensure support for import maps on older browsers. However, with the native support for import maps in all major browsers, v2.0.0 has dropped the bundled shim. If you want to support legacy browsers that lack support for import maps, manually insert `Es-module-shims` before `javascript_importmap_tags`. For more information, refer to [README for importmap-rails](https://github.com/rails/importmap-rails?tab=readme-ov-file#supporting-legacy-browsers-such-as-safari-on-ios-15).

 ### Using npm packages via JavaScript CDNs
 
 You can use the `bin/importmap` command that's added as part of the `importmap-rails` install to pin, unpin, or update npm packages in your import map. The binstub uses [`JSPM.org`](https://jspm.org/).
