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.
$ 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
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']
It's about properties introduced with ES6 and those that have been updated in new spec.

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.

, then order is alphabetical (by key).
Analogous to Array.prototype.filter. Returns new object with properites for which cb function returned truthy value.

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).

functionality, if it's missing, null
instead of function is exposed.

When you're in situation when native extensions are not good idea, then you should use methods indirectly: ```javascript 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: ```javascript 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](http://underscorejs.org/)), and use it throughout your application ```javascript 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. ## API ### Global extensions #### global _(es5-ext/global)_ Object that represents global scope ### Array Constructor extensions #### from(arrayLike[, mapFn[, thisArg]]) _(es5-ext/array/from)_ [_Introduced with ECMAScript 6_](http://people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html#sec-array.from).

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. #### primitiveSet([…names]) _(es5-ext/object/primitive-set)_ Creates `null` prototype based plain object, and sets on it all property names provided in arguments to true. #### safeTraverse(obj[, …names]) _(es5-ext/object/safe-traverse)_ Safe navigation of object properties.
