String.fromCodePoint
polyfill An robust & optimized polyfill for the String.fromCodePoint
method in ECMAScript 6.
This package implements the es-shim API interface. It works in an ES3-supported environment and complies with the spec.
Other polyfills for String.fromCodePoint
are available:
Via npm:
npm install string.fromcodepoint
Then, in Node.js:
var fromCodePoint = require('string.fromcodepoint');
In a browser:
<script src="https://bundle.run/string.fromcodepoint"></script>
NOTE: It's recommended that you install this module using a package manager such as
npm
, because loading multiple polyfills from a CDN (such asbundle.run
) will lead to duplicated code.
A polyfill + test suite for String.prototype.codePointAt
is available, too.
The tests for this repository are now used by Mozilla, to help ensure their native String.fromCodePoint
implementation is correct.
On the main
branch, bump the version number in package.json
:
npm version patch
Instead of patch
, use minor
or major
as needed.
Note that this produces a Git commit + tag.
Push the release commit and tag:
git push && git push --tags
Our CI then automatically publishes the new release to npm.
