`es5-shim.js` and `es5-shim.min.js` monkey-patch a JavaScript context to
|
|
|
|
|
contain all EcmaScript 5 methods that can be faithfully emulated with a
|
|
|
|
|
legacy JavaScript engine.
|
2016-05-16 13:33:49 +02:00
|
|
|
**Note:** As `es5-shim.js` is designed to patch the native Javascript
|
|
|
|
|
engine, it should be the library that is loaded first.
|
2014-05-12 20:08:19 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`es5-sham.js` and `es5-sham.min.js` monkey-patch other ES5 methods as
|
|
|
|
|
closely as possible. For these methods, as closely as possible to ES5
|
|
|
|
|
is not very close. Many of these shams are intended only to allow code
|
|
|
|
|
to be written to ES5 without causing run-time errors in older engines.
|
|
|
|
|
In many cases, this means that these shams cause many ES5 methods to
|
|
|
|
|
silently fail. Decide carefully whether this is what you want.
|
2016-05-16 13:33:49 +02:00
|
|
|
**Note:** `es5-sham.js` requires `es5-shim.js` to be able to work properly.

## Tests
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The tests are written with the Jasmine BDD test framework.
|
2016-05-16 13:33:49 +02:00
|
|
|
To run the tests, navigate to <root-folder>/tests/ , or,
|
|
|
|
|
simply `npm install` and `npm test`.

## Shams
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* :warning: Object.create
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For the case of simply "begetting" an object that inherits
|
|
|
|
|
prototypically from another, this should work fine across legacy
|
|
|
|
|
engines.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:warning: The second argument is passed to Object.defineProperties
|
2016-05-16 13:33:49 +02:00
|
|
|
which will probably fail either silently or with extreme prejudice.
|
2014-05-12 20:08:19 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* :warning: Object.getPrototypeOf
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will return "undefined" in some cases. It uses `__proto__` if
|
|
|
|
|
it's available. Failing that, it uses constructor.prototype, which
|
|
|
|
|
depends on the constructor property of the object's prototype having
|
|
|
|
|
not been replaced. If your object was created like this, it won't
|
|
|
|
|
work:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
function Foo() {
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
Foo.prototype = {};
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Because the prototype reassignment destroys the constructor
|
|
|
|
|
property.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will work for all objects that were created using
|
|
|
|
|
`Object.create` implemented with this library.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* :warning: Object.getOwnPropertyNames
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This method uses Object.keys, so it will not be accurate on legacy
|
|
|
|
|
engines.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Object.isSealed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Returns "false" in all legacy engines for all objects, which is
|
|
|
|
|
conveniently guaranteed to be accurate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Object.isFrozen
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Returns "false" in all legacy engines for all objects, which is
|
|
|
|
|
conveniently guaranteed to be accurate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Object.isExtensible
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Works like a charm, by trying very hard to extend the object then
|
|
|
|
|
redacting the extension.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### May fail
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* :warning: Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The behavior of this shim does not conform to ES5. It should
|
|
|
|
|
probably not be used at this time, until its behavior has been
|
|
|
|
|
reviewed and been confirmed to be useful in legacy engines.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* :warning: Object.defineProperty
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the worst of circumstances, IE 8 provides a version of this
|
|
|
|
|
method that only works on DOM objects. This sham will not be
|
|
|
|
|
installed. The given version of `defineProperty` will throw an
|
|
|
|
|
exception if used on non-DOM objects.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In slightly better circumstances, this method will silently fail to
|
|
|
|
|
set "writable", "enumerable", and "configurable" properties.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Providing a getter or setter with "get" or "set" on a descriptor
|
|
|
|
|
will silently fail on engines that lack "__defineGetter__" and
|
|
|
|
|
"__defineSetter__", which include all versions of IE.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/es-shims/es5-shim/issues#issue/5
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* :warning: Object.defineProperties
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-05-16 13:33:49 +02:00
|
|
|
This uses the Object.defineProperty shim.
|
2014-05-12 20:08:19 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Object.seal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Silently fails on all legacy engines. This should be
|
|
|
|
|
fine unless you are depending on the safety and security
|
|
|
|
|
provisions of this method, which you cannot possibly
|
|
|
|
|
obtain in legacy engines.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Object.freeze
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Silently fails on all legacy engines. This should be
|
|
|
|
|
fine unless you are depending on the safety and security
|
|
|
|
|
provisions of this method, which you cannot possibly
|
|
|
|
|
obtain in legacy engines.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Object.preventExtensions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Silently fails on all legacy engines. This should be
|
|
|
|
|
fine unless you are depending on the safety and security
|
|
|
|
|
provisions of this method, which you cannot possibly
|
|
|
|
|
obtain in legacy engines.
