Browser Support

Exadel Smart Library does not have dependencies but uses the following list of native browser features:

• ECMAScript 6 features
  • Array.from (no Iterable Objects support required) (ESL polyfill provided)
  • Array.prototype.find (ESL polyfill provided)
  • Array.prototype.findIndex (ESL polyfill provided)
  • Array.prototype.include (ESL polyfill provided)
  • Object.is (ESL polyfill provided)
  • Object.assign (accurate polyfill required) (ESL polyfill provided)
  • ES6 Promise
• Web API
  • Event constructor + preventDefault polyfill
  • Custom Event constructor
  • Node.isConnected
  • Element.matches
  • Element.closest
  • Element.toggleAttribute
  • KeyboardEvent.key
  • IntersectionObserver
  • ResizeObserver
  • Custom Elements

All of them are fully supported by modern browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge (>43).

In order to make ESL work in older browsers, you can use a "light" polyfills list of IntersectionObserver, ResizeObserver and Custom Elements (for older versions of Edge and Safari).

Or make the library work in IE11 or Edge (<14) by using the "full" polyfills list provided.

See more details on what polyfill approach might look like in the demo pages source code.

Also, ESL has built-in polyfills for some of DOM and ES6 features. They are available under polyfills directory:

• ECMA Script 5: output shim (HTMLElement constructor call) - es5-target-shim.ts
• ECMA Script 5: IE11, Edge <14 support - polyfills.es5.ts
  • Object.is, Object.assign
  • Array.from, Array.prototype.find, Array.prototype.findIndex, Array.prototype.index
  • Event, CustomEvent, MouseEvent, KeyboardEvent, FocusEvent shim
  • Event.prototype.preventDefault shim
  • Element.prototype.closest
  • DOMTokenList.prototype.toggle
  • Note: there is no promise polyfill embedded, use npm:promise-polyfill or similar
• ECMA Script 6: DOM - polyfills.es6.ts
  • Node.isConnected
  • KeyboardKey.prototype.key
  • Element.prototype.toggleAttribute
