# ES6 Shim
Provides compatibility shims so that legacy JavaScript engines behave as
closely as possible to ECMAScript 6 (Harmony).
[![Build Status][1]][2] [![dependency status][3]][4] [![dev dependency status][5]][6]
[](https://ci.testling.com/paulmillr/es6-shim)
[](https://saucelabs.com/u/es6-shim)
[HTML version of the final ECMAScript 6 spec][spec-html-url]
## Installation
If you want to use it in browser:
* Just include es6-shim before your scripts.
* Include [es5-shim][es5-shim-url] especially if your browser doesn't support ECMAScript 5 - but every JS engine requires the `es5-shim` to correct broken implementations, so it's strongly recommended to always include it.
For `node.js`, `io.js`, or any `npm`-managed workflow (this is the recommended method):
npm install es6-shim
Alternative methods:
* `component install paulmillr/es6-shim` if you’re using [component(1)](https://github.com/component/component).
* `bower install es6-shim` if you’re using [Bower](http://bower.io/).
In both browser and node you may also want to include `unorm`; see the [`String.prototype.normalize`](#stringprototypenormalize) section for details.
## Safe shims
* `Map`, `Set` (requires ES5 property descriptor support)
* `Promise`
* `String`:
* `fromCodePoint()` ([a standalone shim is also available](http://mths.be/fromcodepoint))
* `raw()`
* `String.prototype`:
* `codePointAt()` ([a standalone shim is also available](http://mths.be/codepointat))
* `endsWith()` ([a standalone shim is also available](http://mths.be/endswith))
* `includes()` ([a standalone shim is also available](http://mths.be/includes))
* `repeat()` ([a standalone shim is also available](http://mths.be/repeat))
* `startsWith()` ([a standalone shim is also available](http://mths.be/startswith))
* `RegExp`:
* `new RegExp`, when given a RegExp as the pattern, will no longer throw when given a "flags" string argument. (requires ES5)
* `RegExp.prototype`:
* `flags` (requires ES5) ([a standalone shim is also available](https://github.com/es-shims/RegExp.prototype.flags))
* `Number`:
* binary and octal literals: `Number('0b1')` and `Number('0o7')`
* `EPSILON`
* `MAX_SAFE_INTEGER`
* `MIN_SAFE_INTEGER`
* `isNaN()`([a standalone shim is also available](https://npmjs.org/package/is-nan))
* `isInteger()`
* `isSafeInteger()`
* `isFinite()`
* `parseInt()`
* `parseFloat()`
* `Array`:
* `from()` ([a standalone shim is also available](https://npmjs.org/package/array.from))
* `of()` ([a standalone shim is also available](https://npmjs.org/package/array.of))
* `Array.prototype`:
* `copyWithin()`
* `entries()`
* `fill()`
* `find()` ([a standalone shim is also available](https://github.com/paulmillr/Array.prototype.find))
* `findIndex()` ([a standalone shim is also available](https://github.com/paulmillr/Array.prototype.findIndex))
* `keys()` (note: keys/values/entries return an `ArrayIterator` object)
* `values()`
* `Object`:
* `assign()` ([a standalone shim is also available](https://github.com/ljharb/object.assign))
* `is()` ([a standalone shim is also available](https://github.com/ljharb/object-is))
* `keys()` (in ES5, but no longer throws on non-object non-null/undefined values in ES6)
* `setPrototypeOf()` (IE >= 11)
* `Math`:
* `acosh()`
* `asinh()`
* `atanh()`
* `cbrt()`
* `clz32()`
* `cosh()`
* `expm1()`
* `fround()`
* `hypot()`
* `imul()`
* `log10()`
* `log1p()`
* `log2()`
* `sign()`
* `sinh()`
* `tanh()`
* `trunc()`
Math functions’ accuracy is 1e-11.
* `Reflect`
* `apply()`
* `construct()`
* `defineProperty()`
* `deleteProperty()`
* `enumerate()`
* `get()`
* `getOwnPropertyDescriptor()`
* `getPrototypeOf()`
* `has()`
* `isExtensible()`
* `ownKeys()`
* `preventExtensions()`
* `set()`
* `setPrototypeOf()`
* `String.prototype` Annex B HTML methods
These methods are part of "Annex B", which means that although they are a defacto standard, you shouldn't use them. None the less, the `es6-shim` provides them:
* `anchor()`
* `big()`
* `blink()`
* `bold()`
* `fixed()`
* `fontcolor()`
* `fontsize()`
* `italics()`
* `link()`
* `small()`
* `strike()`
* `sub()`
* `sup()`
## Subclassing
The `Map`, `Set`, and `Promise` implementations are subclassable.
You should use the following pattern to create a subclass in ES5 which will continue to work in ES6:
```javascript
require('es6-shim');
function MyPromise(exec) {
var promise = new Promise(exec);
Object.setPrototypeOf(promise, MyPromise.prototype);
// ...
return promise;
}
Object.setPrototypeOf(MyPromise, Promise);
MyPromise.prototype = Object.create(Promise.prototype, {
constructor: { value: MyPromise }
});
```
## String.prototype.normalize
Including a proper shim for `String.prototype.normalize` would increase the size of this library by a factor of more than 4.
So instead we recommend that you install the [`unorm`](https://github.com/walling/unorm) package alongside `es6-shim` if you need `String.prototype.normalize`.
See https://github.com/paulmillr/es6-shim/issues/134 for more discussion.
## WeakMap shim
It is not possible to implement WeakMap in pure javascript.
The [es6-collections](https://github.com/WebReflection/es6-collections) implementation doesn't hold values strongly, which is critical for the collection. `es6-shim` decided to not include an incorrect shim.
`WeakMap` has very unusual use-cases, so you probably won't need it at all (use simple `Map` instead).
## Getting started
```javascript
require('es6-shim');
var assert = require('assert');
assert.equal(true, 'abc'.startsWith('a'));
assert.equal(false, 'abc'.endsWith('a'));
assert.equal(true, 'john alice'.includes('john'));
assert.equal('123'.repeat(2), '123123');
assert.equal(false, NaN === NaN);
assert.equal(true, Object.is(NaN, NaN));
assert.equal(true, -0 === 0);
assert.equal(false, Object.is(-0, 0));
var result = Object.assign({ a: 1 }, { b: 2 });
assert.deepEqual(result, { a: 1, b: 2 });
assert.equal(true, isNaN('a'));
assert.equal(false, Number.isNaN('a'));
assert.equal(true, Number.isNaN(NaN));
assert.equal(true, isFinite('123'));
assert.equal(false, Number.isFinite('123'));
assert.equal(false, Number.isFinite(Infinity));
// Tests if value is a number, finite,
// >= -9007199254740992 && <= 9007199254740992 and floor(value) === value
assert.equal(false, Number.isInteger(2.4));
assert.equal(1, Math.sign(400));
assert.equal(0, Math.sign(0));
assert.equal(-1, Math.sign(-400));
var found = [5, 10, 15, 10].find(function (item) { return item / 2 === 5; });
assert.equal(10, found);
var foundIndex = [5, 10, 15, 10].findIndex(function (item) { return item / 2 === 5; });
assert.equal(1, foundIndex);
// Replacement for `{}` key-value storage.
// Keys can be anything.
var map = new Map([['Bob', 42], ['Foo', 'bar']]);
map.set('John', 25);
map.set('Alice', 400);
map.set(['meh'], 555);
assert.equal(undefined, map.get(['meh'])); // undefined because you need to use exactly the same object.
map.delete('Alice');
map.keys();
map.values();
assert.equal(4, map.size);
// Useful for storing unique items.
var set = new Set([0, 1]);
set.add(2);
set.add(5);
assert.equal(true, set.has(0));
assert.equal(true, set.has(1));
assert.equal(true, set.has(2));
assert.equal(false, set.has(4));
assert.equal(true, set.has(5));
set.delete(5);
assert.equal(false, set.has(5));
// Promises, see
// http://www.slideshare.net/domenicdenicola/callbacks-promises-and-coroutines-oh-my-the-evolution-of-asynchronicity-in-javascript
// https://github.com/petkaantonov/bluebird/#what-are-promises-and-why-should-i-use-them
Promise.resolve(5).then(function (value) {
assert.equal(value, 5);
if (value) throw new Error('whoops!');
// do some stuff
return anotherPromise();
}).catch(function (e) {
assert.equal(e.message, 'whoops!');
assert.equal(true, e instanceof Error);
// any errors thrown asynchronously end up here
});
```
## Caveats
- `Object.setPrototypeOf` / `Reflect.setPrototypeOf`
- Note that null objects (`Object.create(null)`, eg, an object with `null` as its `[[Prototype]]`) can not have their `[[Prototype]]` changed except via a native `Object.setPrototypeOf`.
