IE8 Support?

[benmaurer]

Thanks so much for webpack! Though I've just started using it, my workflow is infinitely simpler. For the style-loader, do you plan to support IE8? ... if so, could the ES6 bind functions in the addStyle function be altered so I don't have to fork the library or use a polyfill?

[sokra]

You need to use an polyfill...

I don't want to increase size or complexity for old browsers.
Polyfilling is job of the application.

[benmaurer]

I don't blame you. Stupid IE ...

[szrenwei]

to author: at least you should put some comments under the style-load. I am a victim, too.

[sokra]

PR?

[szrenwei]

I suggest add some warn info under the style loader. point out it not support IE8, and provide a solution. IE8 have a large market share at this time.

@sokra What parts are unsupported under IE8? Is it enough to use extract-text-webpack-plugin?

And we include es5-sh(i/a)m now, is there some way to guarantee that it will be loaded before other things? auto-polyfiller is an option as well, but the same question applies, any way to guarantee it's loaded before the rest of the bundle?

[benmaurer]

For the style loader, I believe you must include the polyfill before any style-related requires. I assume the same principle applies elsewhere

[SimenB]

Ah, that makes sense.

Is it only .bind causing trouble? Or any other parts as well?

[benmaurer]

Yes i think it's only the bind

[benmaurer]

Just updated to the newest version -- you'll also need to polyfill filter

[SimenB]

Ok, thanks for the update. Stick it in the docs?

[noneven]

add the filter and bind, that is OK!

if(!Function.prototype.bind){
    Function.prototype.bind = function(){   
        var fn = this, 
        args = [].slice.call(arguments), 
        object = args.shift();   
        return function(){   
            return fn.apply(object,args.concat([].slice.call(arguments)));   
        };   
    };   
}
if (!Array.prototype.filter){
    Array.prototype.filter = function(fun /*, thisp*/){
    var len = this.length;
        if (typeof fun != "function")
            throw new TypeError(); 
            var res = new Array();
            var thisp = arguments[1];
            for (var i = 0; i < len; i++){
                if (i in this){
                    var val = this[i]; // in case fun mutates this
                    if (fun.call(thisp, val, i, this))
                    res.push(val);
                }
            } 
        return res;
    };
}

@coderwin you are missing something, it doesn't compile because of:

arguments

[noneven]

include es5-sh(i/a)m--> ES5Shim4Webpack

[es6Test]

thx

[flyher]

@coderwin
It's worked after add the filter and bind.
but i change another function , is import 'ES5Shim4Webpack' ,it elso show the error when i '>npm start'.
