The core-js npm package is a modular standard library for JavaScript, which includes polyfills for ECMAScript features. It provides reliable polyfills to ensure that code behaves consistently across different environments, including older browsers.
Polyfilling ECMAScript features
This feature allows developers to use the latest ECMAScript features while ensuring backward compatibility with older environments that do not support these features natively.
require('core-js/stable');
// Now you can use ES6 features like Promise in environments that do not support them natively.Polyfilling Web Standards
Core-js can also polyfill web standards, allowing developers to use modern web APIs in environments that have not implemented them.
require('core-js/web');
// This includes polyfills for web standards like DOM collections (e.g., NodeList), timers, and more.Polyfilling Proposals
Developers can experiment with proposed ECMAScript features before they are finalized and adopted into the standard, ensuring forward compatibility.
require('core-js/proposals');
// This will include polyfills for ECMAScript proposals that are not yet part of the standard.Babel-polyfill is a package that provides polyfills necessary for a full ES2015+ environment. It is similar to core-js but is more tightly coupled with Babel's transpilation process.
The es6-shim package provides polyfills for ECMAScript 6 (aka ECMAScript 2015) features. It is similar to core-js but focuses specifically on ES6 features and does not cover proposals or web standards.
The polyfill-service by Financial Times is an online service that provides polyfills based on the user's browser. It is different from core-js in that it is a service rather than a package you include in your project, but it serves a similar purpose in polyfilling features.
Modular compact standard library for JavaScript. Includes polyfills for ECMAScript 5, ECMAScript 6: symbols, collections, iterators, promises, ECMAScript 7 proposals; setImmediate, array generics. Some additional features such as dictionaries, extended partial application, console cap, date formatting. You can require only standardized features polyfills, use features without global namespace pollution or create a custom build.
Array.from(new Set([1, 2, 3, 2, 1])); // => [1, 2, 3]
'*'.repeat(10); // => '**********'
Promise.resolve(32).then(log); // => 32
setImmediate(log, 42); // => 42
Without global namespace pollution:
var core = require('core-js/library'); // With a modular system, otherwise use global `core`
core.Array.from(new core.Set([1, 2, 3, 2, 1])); // => [1, 2, 3]
core.String.repeat('*', 10); // => '**********'
core.Promise.resolve(32).then(core.log); // => 32
core.setImmediate(core.log, 42); // => 42
npm i core-js
bower install core.js
// Default
require('core-js');
// Without global namespace pollution
var core = require('core-js/library');
// Shim only
require('core-js/shim');
If you need complete build for browser, use builds from core-js/client path: default, without global namespace pollution, shim only.
Caveat: if you uses core-js with extension of native objects, require all needed core-js modules at the beginning of entry point of your application, otherwise possible conflicts.
You can require only needed modules.
require('core-js/es5'); // if you need support IE8-
require('core-js/fn/set');
require('core-js/fn/array/from');
Array.from(new Set([1, 2, 3, 2, 1])); // => [1, 2, 3]
// or, w/o global namespace pollution:
var core = require('core-js/library/es5'); // if you need support IE8-
var Set = require('core-js/library/fn/set');
var from = require('core-js/library/fn/array/from');
from(new Set([1, 2, 3, 2, 1])); // => [1, 2, 3]
Available entry points for methods / constructors, as above, excluding features from es5 module (this module requires fully in ES3 environment before all other modules).
Available namespaces: for example, core-js/es6/array (core-js/library/es6/array) contains all ES6 Array features, core-js/es6 (core-js/library/es6) contains all ES6 features.
Available inclusion by module name, for example, es6.array.prototype - core-js/modules/es6.array.prototype or core-js/library/modules/es6.array.prototype.
npm i -g grunt-cli
npm i core-js
cd node_modules/core-js && npm i
grunt build:core.dict,es6 --blacklist=es6.promise,es6.math --library=on --path=custom uglify
Where core.dict and es6 are modules (namespaces) names, which will be added to the build, es6.promise and es6.math are modules (namespaces) names, which will be excluded from the build, --library=on is flag for build without global namespace pollution and custom is target file name.
Available namespaces: for example, es6.array contains ES6 Array features, es6 contains all modules whose names start with es6.

Symbol polyfill:Symbol returns object.Symbol polyfill defines setter in Object.prototype. For this reason, the in operator is not working correctly with Symbol polyfill: Symbol() in {} // => true.You can disable defining setter in Object.prototype. Example:
Symbol.useSimple();
var s1 = Symbol('s1')
, o1 = {};
o1[s1] = true;
for(var key in o1)log(key); // => 'Symbol(s1)_t.qamkg9f3q', w/o native Symbol

Module core.log. Console cap for old browsers and some additional functionality. In IE, Node.js / IO.js and Firebug console methods not require call from console object, but in Chromium and V8 this throws error. For some reason, we can't replace console methods by their bound versions. Add log object with bound console methods. Some more sugar: log is shortcut for log.log, we can disable output.

Module core.dict. Based on TC39 discuss / strawman.
[new] Dict(iterable (entries) | object ?) -> dict
.isDict(var) -> bool
.values(object) -> iterator
.keys(object) -> iterator
.entries(object) -> iterator (entries)
.has(object, key) -> bool
.get(object, key) -> val
.set(object, key, value) -> object
.forEach(object, fn(val, key, @), that) -> void
.map(object, fn(val, key, @), that) -> new @
.mapPairs(object, fn(val, key, @), that) -> new @
.filter(object, fn(val, key, @), that) -> new @
.some(object, fn(val, key, @), that) -> bool
.every(object, fn(val, key, @), that) -> bool
.find(object, fn(val, key, @), that) -> val
.findKey(object, fn(val, key, @), that) -> key
.keyOf(object, var) -> key
.includes(object, var) -> bool
.reduce(object, fn(memo, val, key, @), memo?) -> var
.turn(object, fn(memo, val, key, @), memo = new @) -> memo
Dict create object without prototype from iterable or simple object. Example:
var map = new Map([['a', 1], ['b', 2], ['c', 3]]);
Dict(); // => {__proto__: null}
Dict({a: 1, b: 2, c: 3}); // => {__proto__: null, a: 1, b: 2, c: 3}
Dict(map); // => {__proto__: null, a: 1, b: 2, c: 3}
Dict([1, 2, 3].entries()); // => {__proto__: null, 0: 1, 1: 2, 2: 3}
var dict = Dict({a: 42});
dict instanceof Object; // => false
dict.a; // => 42
dict.toString; // => undefined
'a' in dict; // => true
'hasOwnProperty' in dict; // => false
Dict.isDict({}); // => false
Dict.isDict(Dict()); // => true
Dict.keys, Dict.values and Dict.entries returns iterators for objects, examples:
var dict = {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3};
for(var key of Dict.keys(dict))log(key); // => 'a', 'b', 'c'
for(var [key, val] of Dict.entries(dict)){
log(key); // => 'a', 'b', 'c'
log(val); // => 1, 2, 3
}
$for(Dict.values(dict)).of(log); // => 1, 2, 3
new Map(Dict.entries(dict)); // => Map {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3}
new Map((for([k, v] of Dict.entries(dict))if(v % 2)[k + k, v * v])); // => Map {aa: 1, cc: 9}
Other methods of Dict module are static equialents of Array.prototype methods for dictionaries, examples:
var dict = {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3};
Dict.forEach(dict, console.log, console);
// => 1, 'a', {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3}
// => 2, 'b', {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3}
// => 3, 'c', {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3}
Dict.map(dict, function(it){
return it * it;
}); // => {a: 1, b: 4, c: 9}
Dict.mapPairs(dict, function(val, key){
if(key != 'b')return [key + key, val * val];
}); // => {aa: 1, cc: 9}
Dict.filter(dict, function(it){
return it % 2;
}); // => {a: 1, c: 3}
Dict.some(dict, function(it){
return it === 2;
}); // => true
Dict.every(dict, function(it){
return it === 2;
}); // => false
Dict.find(dict, function(it){
return it > 2;
}); // => 3
Dict.find(dict, function(it){
return it > 4;
}); // => undefined
Dict.findKey(dict, function(it){
return it > 2;
}); // => 'c'
Dict.findKey(dict, function(it){
return it > 4;
}); // => undefined
Dict.keyOf(dict, 2); // => 'b'
Dict.keyOf(dict, 4); // => undefined
Dict.includes(dict, 2); // => true
Dict.includes(dict, 4); // => false
Dict.reduce(dict, function(memo, it){
return memo + it;
}); // => 6
Dict.reduce(dict, function(memo, it){
return memo + it;
}, ''); // => '123'
Dict.turn(dict, function(memo, it, key){
memo[key + key] = it;
}); // => {aa: 1, bb: 2, cc: 3}
Dict.turn(dict, function(memo, it, key){
it % 2 && memo.push(key + it);
}, []); // => ['a1', 'c3']
Module core.binding.
Function
#part(...args | _) -> fn(...args)
#only(num, that /* = @ */) -> (fn | boundFn)(...args)
Object
#[_](key) -> boundFn
Function#part partial apply function without this binding. Uses global variable _ (core._ for builds without global namespace pollution) as placeholder and not conflict with Underscore / LoDash. Examples:
var fn1 = log.part(1, 2);
fn1(3, 4); // => 1, 2, 3, 4
var fn2 = log.part(_, 2, _, 4);
fn2(1, 3); // => 1, 2, 3, 4
var fn3 = log.part(1, _, _, 4);
fn3(2, 3); // => 1, 2, 3, 4
fn2(1, 3, 5); // => 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
fn2(1); // => 1, 2, undefined, 4
Method Object#[_] extracts bound method from object, examples:
['foobar', 'foobaz', 'barbaz'].filter(/bar/[_]('test')); // => ['foobar', 'barbaz']
var has = {}.hasOwnProperty[_]('call');
log(has({key: 42}, 'foo')); // => false
log(has({key: 42}, 'key')); // => true
var array = []
, push = array[_]('push');
push(1);
push(2, 3);
log(array); // => [1, 2, 3];
Method Function#only limits number of arguments. Example:
[1, 2, 3].forEach(log.only(1)); // => 1, 2, 3
