Package Exports

  • to-string-tag-x

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (to-string-tag-x) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

to-string-tag-x

Travis status Dependency status devDependency status npm version

Get an object's @@toStringTag. Includes fixes to correct ES3 differences for the following.

  • undefined => '[object Undefined]'
  • null => '[object Null]'

No other fixes are included, so legacy arguments will give [object Object], and many older native objects give [object Object]. There are also other environmental bugs for example RegExp gives [object Function] and Uint8Array gives [object Object] on certain engines. While these and more could be fixed, it was decided that this should be a very raw version and it is left to the coder to use other is implimentations for detection. It is also worth noting that as of ES6 Symbol.toStringTag can be set on an object and therefore can report any string that it wishes.

ECMAScript compatibility shims for legacy JavaScript engines

`es5-shim.js` monkey-patches a JavaScript context to contain all EcmaScript 5 methods that can be faithfully emulated with a legacy JavaScript engine.

es5-sham.js monkey-patches 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. Note: es5-sham.js requires es5-shim.js to be able to work properly.

json3.js monkey-patches the EcmaScript 5 JSON implimentation faithfully.

es6.shim.js provides compatibility shims so that legacy JavaScript engines behave as closely as possible to ECMAScript 6 (Harmony).
