Provides compatibility shims so that legacy JavaScript engines behave as closely as possible to ECMAScript 6 (Harmony).

Project targets engines that support ES5 (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera). With ES5-shim it could also work in older browsers.

npm install es6-shim

• Maps & Sets
• String.prototype.repeat, String.prototype.startsWith, String.prototype.endsWith, String.prototype.contains, String.prototype.toArray
• Array.from, Array.of
• Number.isNaN, Number.toInteger, Number.isInteger, Number.isFinite
• Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptors, Object.getPropertyDescriptor, Object.getPropertyNames, Object.is, Object.isnt
• Math.sign, Math.log10, Math.log2, Math.log1p, Math.expm1, Math.cosh, Math.sinh, Math.tanh, Math.acosh, Math.asinh, Math.atanh, Math.hypot, Math.trunc

It is not possible to implement WeakMap in pure javascript. es6-collections implementation doesn't held values strongly which is critical for the collection. es6-shim decided to not include incorrect shim.

WeakMap has very unusual use-case so you probably won't need it at all ( use simple Map instead).

es6-collections Map and Set are also implemented incorrectly and don't pass all V8 collection tests.

There are some shims that do not work in IE8, because it is simply not possible to implement them properly:

• Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptors, Object.getPropertyDescriptor, Object.getPropertyNames

The project was initially based on es6-shim by Axel Rauschmayer.
