NodeJS module to create polyfill bundles tailored to individual user-agents
npm install @mrhenry/polyfill-library --saveconst polyfillLibrary = require('@mrhenry/polyfill-library');
const UA = require('@financial-times/polyfill-useragent-normaliser');
const polyfillBundle = polyfillLibrary.getPolyfillString({
ua: new UA('Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; en-US)'),
minify: true,
features: {
'es6': { flags: ['gated'] }
}
}).then(function(bundleString) {
console.log(bundleString);
});Get a list of all the polyfills which exist within the collection of polyfill sources.
Returns a Promise which resolves with an array of all the polyfills within the collection.
Get the metadata for a specific polyfill within the collection of polyfill sources.
@param {String} featureName- The name of a polyfill whose metadata should be returned.
Returns a Promise which resolves with the metadata or with undefined if no metadata exists for the polyfill.
Create an options object for use with getPolyfills or getPolyfillString.
@param {object} opts- Valid keys are ua, minify, unknown, excludes and features.@param {Boolean} [opts.minify=true]- Whether to return the minified or raw implementation of the polyfills.@param {'ignore'|'polyfill'} [opts.unknown='polyfill']- Whether to return all polyfills or no polyfills if the user-agent is unknown or unsupported.@param {Object} [opts.features={}]- Which features should be returned if the user-agent does not support them natively.@param {Array<String>} [opts.excludes=[]]- Which features should be excluded from the returned object.@param {Object} [opts.ua={}]- The user-agent object to check each feature against.
Returns an object which has merged opts with the defaults option values.
Given a set of features that should be polyfilled in 'opts.features' (with flags i.e. {<featurename>: {flags:Set[<flaglist>]}, ...}), determine which have a configuration valid for the given opts.ua, and return a promise of set of canonical (unaliased) features (with flags) and polyfills.
@param {object} opts- Valid keys are ua, minify, unknown, excludes and features.@param {Boolean} [opts.minify=true]- Whether to return the minified or raw implementation of the polyfills.@param {'ignore'|'polyfill'} [opts.unknown='polyfill']- Whether to return all polyfills or no polyfills if the user-agent is unknown or unsupported.@param {Object} [opts.features={}]- Which features should be returned if the user-agent does not support them natively.@param {Array<String>} [opts.excludes=[]]- Which features should be excluded from the returned object.@param {Object} [opts.ua={}]- The user-agent object to check each feature against.
Returns a Promise which resolves to an Object which contains the canonicalised feature definitions filtered for UA.
Create a polyfill bundle.
@param {object} opts- Valid keys are ua, minify, unknown, excludes and features.@param {Boolean} [opts.minify=true]- Whether to return the minified or raw implementation of the polyfills.@param {'ignore'|'polyfill'} [opts.unknown='polyfill']- Whether to return all polyfills or no polyfills if the user-agent is unknown or unsupported.@param {Object} [opts.features={}]- Which features should be returned if the user-agent does not support them natively.@param {Array<String>} [opts.excludes=[]]- Which features should be excluded from the returned object.@param {Object} [opts.ua={}]- The user-agent object to check each feature against.@param {Boolean} [opts.stream=false]- Whether to return a stream or a string of the polyfill bundle.
Returns a polyfill bundle as either a utf-8 ReadStream or as a Promise of a utf-8 String.
