require(esm) Backported to Node.js 20, Paving the Way for ESM-Only Packages
require(esm) backported to Node.js 20, easing the transition to ESM-only packages and reducing complexity for developers as Node 18 nears end-of-life.
es6-object-assign
Advanced tools
The es6-object-assign package is a polyfill for the Object.assign() method, which is part of the ECMAScript 2015 (ES6) standard. This method is used to copy the values of all enumerable own properties from one or more source objects to a target object, returning the target object. This package ensures compatibility for environments where Object.assign() is not natively supported.
Polyfill for Object.assign
This feature allows the user to merge multiple objects into a single object, combining their properties. It is particularly useful for merging configurations or settings objects in JavaScript applications.
var objectAssign = require('es6-object-assign').assign;
var obj1 = { a: 1 };
var obj2 = { b: 2 };
var result = objectAssign(obj1, obj2);
console.log(result); // Output: { a: 1, b: 2 }
Similar to es6-object-assign, object-assign is a polyfill for Object.assign. It is widely used and maintained, offering robust performance and compatibility across different JavaScript environments.
While similar to es6-object-assign in providing an Object.assign polyfill, deep-assign also supports deep merging of objects, which is not supported by the standard Object.assign or es6-object-assign. This makes it useful for more complex object structures.
ECMAScript 2015 (ES2015/ES6) Object.assign() polyfill and ponyfill for ECMAScript 5 environments.
The main definition of this package has been copied from the polyfill defined in the Mozilla Developer Network.
npm install es6-object-assign
The package is also available as a UMD module (compatible with AMD, CommonJS and exposing a global variable ObjectAssign
) in dist/object-assign.js
and dist/object-assign.min.js
(833 bytes minified and gzipped).
The versions with automatic polyfilling are dist/object-assign-auto.js
and dist/object-assign-auto.min.js
.
CommonJS:
// Polyfill, modifying the global Object
require('es6-object-assign').polyfill();
var obj = Object.assign({}, { foo: 'bar' });
// Same version with automatic polyfilling
require('es6-object-assign/auto');
var obj = Object.assign({}, { foo: 'bar' });
// Or ponyfill, using a reference to the function without modifying globals
var assign = require('es6-object-assign').assign;
var obj = assign({}, { foo: 'bar' });
Globals:
Manual polyfill:
<script src="<your-libs-directory>/object-assign.min.js"></script>
<script>
// Polyfill, modifying the global Object
window.ObjectAssign.polyfill();
var obj = Object.assign({}, { foo: 'bar' });
</script>
Automatic polyfill:
<script src="<your-libs-directory>/object-assign-auto.min.js"></script>
<script>
var obj = Object.assign({}, { foo: 'bar' });
</script>
Ponyfill, without modifying globals:
<script src="<your-libs-directory>/object-assign.min.js"></script>
<script>
var assign = window.ObjectAssign.assign;
var obj = assign({}, { foo: 'bar' });
</script>
