Native Browser Support

[mcordingley]

I'm not sure if this polyfill can be used directly in a browser without some third-party module system. Can you add support for vanilla browser usage, if that's missing, and documentation on how to use the polyfill in that situation?

Thanks!

You can use any link from Downloads section.

For example:

<script src="https://es6-promises.s3.amazonaws.com/es6-promise-2.0.0.min.js"></script>

Sure, but what browser global, if any, does it expose if a module system is not present? Or, does it auto polyfill Promise as a global in that case? The README only really covers what to do with the return value of require(), which doesn't apply in this circumstance.

window.Promise = window.ES6Promise

We can likely expose the polyfil on the ES6Promise namespace as ES6Promise.polyfil() but this is not currently the case

[mcordingley]

@stefanpenner That's what I'm looking for. Thanks! Would be lovely if the README had that in it.

Part of my code calls new Promise(), which threw a ReferenceError in IE11. I have then included this polyfill via <script src="bower_components/es6-promise/promise.min.js"></script> and the error is gone. So in which case do we still need to call window.Promise = window.ES6Promise?

@jgehrcke I think you'd be interested in #59 & #65.

[stefanpenner]

we will make it auto-polyfil

[stefanpenner]

master does this, soon after @jakearchibald has time to vet + audit, we will release a new version
