es5-ext

ECMAScript 5 extensions

(with respect to ECMAScript 6 standard)

Shims for upcoming ES6 standard and other goodies implemented strictly with ECMAScript conventions in mind.

It's designed to be used in compliant ECMAScript 5 or ECMAScript 6 environments. Older environments are not supported, although most of the features should work with correct ECMAScript 5 shim on board.

When used in ECMAScript 6 environment, native implementation (if valid) takes precedence over shims.

Installation

$ npm install es5-ext

To port it to Browser or any other (non CJS) environment, use your favorite CJS bundler. No favorite yet? Try: Browserify, Webmake or Webpack

Usage

ECMAScript 6 features

You can force ES6 features to be implemented in your environment, e.g. following will assign from function to Array (only if it's not implemented already).

require("es5-ext/array/from/implement");
Array.from("foo"); // ['f', 'o', 'o']

You can also access shims directly, without fixing native objects. Following will return native Array.from if it's available and fallback to shim if it's not.

var aFrom = require("es5-ext/array/from");
aFrom("foo"); // ['f', 'o', 'o']

If you want to use shim unconditionally (even if native implementation exists) do:

var aFrom = require("es5-ext/array/from/shim");
aFrom("foo"); // ['f', 'o', 'o']

Non ECMAScript standard features

es5-ext provides also other utils, and implements them as if they were proposed for a standard. It mostly offers methods (not functions) which can directly be assigned to native prototypes:

Object.defineProperty(Function.prototype, "partial", {
  value: require("es5-ext/function/#/partial"),
  configurable: true,
  enumerable: false,
  writable: true
});
Object.defineProperty(Array.prototype, "flatten", {
  value: require("es5-ext/array/#/flatten"),
  configurable: true,
  enumerable: false,
  writable: true
});
Object.defineProperty(String.prototype, "capitalize", {
  value: require("es5-ext/string/#/capitalize"),
  configurable: true,
  enumerable: false,
  writable: true
});

See es5-extend, a great utility that automatically will extend natives for you.

Important: Remember to not extend natives in scope of generic reusable packages (e.g. ones you intend to publish to npm). Extending natives is fine only if you're the owner of the global scope, so e.g. in final project you lead development of.

When you're in situation when native extensions are not good idea, then you should use methods indirectly:

var flatten = require("es5-ext/array/#/flatten");

flatten.call([1, [2, [3, 4]]]); // [1, 2, 3, 4]

for better convenience you can turn methods into functions:

var call = Function.prototype.call;
var flatten = call.bind(require("es5-ext/array/#/flatten"));

flatten([1, [2, [3, 4]]]); // [1, 2, 3, 4]

You can configure custom toolkit (like underscorejs), and use it throughout your application

var util = {};
util.partial = call.bind(require("es5-ext/function/#/partial"));
util.flatten = call.bind(require("es5-ext/array/#/flatten"));
util.startsWith = call.bind(require("es5-ext/string/#/starts-with"));

util.flatten([1, [2, [3, 4]]]); // [1, 2, 3, 4]

As with native ones most methods are generic and can be run on any type of object.

create(obj[, properties]) (es5-ext/object/create)

Object.create alternative that provides workaround for V8 issue.

When null is provided as a prototype, it's substituted with specially prepared object that derives from Object.prototype but has all Object.prototype properties shadowed with undefined.

It's quirky solution that allows us to have plain objects with no truthy properties but with turnable prototype.

Use only for objects that you plan to switch prototypes of and be aware of limitations of this workaround.

filter(obj, cb[, thisArg]) (es5-ext/object/filter)

Analogous to Array.prototype.filter. Returns new object with properites for which cb function returned truthy value.

forEach(obj, cb[, thisArg[, compareFn]]) (es5-ext/object/for-each)

Analogous to Array.prototype.forEach. Calls a function for each key-value pair found in object Optionally compareFn can be provided which assures that properties are iterated in given order. If provided compareFn is equal to true, then order is alphabetical (by key).

Create new object with same values, but remapped keys

mixin(target, source) (es5-ext/object/mixin)

Extend target by all own properties of other objects. Properties found in both objects will be overwritten (unless they're not configurable and cannot be overwritten). It was for a moment part of ECMAScript 6 draft.

mixinPrototypes(target, …source]) (es5-ext/object/mixin-prototypes)

Extends target, with all source and source's prototype properties. Useful as an alternative for setPrototypeOf in environments in which it cannot be shimmed (no __proto__ support).

normalizeOptions(options) (es5-ext/object/normalize-options)

Normalizes options object into flat plain object.

Useful for functions in which we either need to keep options object for future reference or need to modify it for internal use.

• It never returns input options object back (always a copy is created)
• options can be undefined in such case empty plain object is returned.
• Copies all enumerable properties found down prototype chain.

toArray(obj[, cb[, thisArg[, compareFn]]]) (es5-ext/object/to-array)

Creates an array of results of calling a provided function on every key-value pair in this object. Optionally compareFn can be provided which assures that results are added in given order. If provided compareFn is equal to true, then order is alphabetical (by key).
