@vrbo/nimbuild-corejs

Performant generation of coreJS polyfill bundles optimized for target browsers at runtime

Why

Read: https://github.com/zloirock/core-js/blob/master/docs/2019-03-19-core-js-3-babel-and-a-look-into-the-future.md#better-optimization-of-polyfill-loading

A service like this one integrated with a good polyfills source like core-js, which only loads the needed polyfills by statically analyzing the source like Babel's useBuiltIns: usage option does could cause a revolution in the way we think about polyfills.

This module is the core of what is needed to fulfill the next generation approach to loading polyfills.

Installation

npm install --save @vrbo/nimbuild-corejs

Usage

Import module and prime cache

const {primeCache} = require('@vrbo/nimbuild-corejs');
primeCache(); // async, takes up to 20 seconds

When processing an HTTP request, generate coreJS polyfill string with this usage:

const {getPolyfillString} = require('@vrbo/nimbuild-corejs');
const coreJSData = await getPolyfillString({
    include: ['es.*'],
    exclude: [],
    logger: {log: console.log},
    minify: true,
    uaString: http.headers['user-agent']
});
return coreJSData.script; // polyfill string
