ember-cli-es5-shim

This Ember CLI addon imports the es5-shim for your for add/addon.

ES5 support for older browsers and phantomjs is added using a generator that adds the dependency for es5-shim to your bower.json file. And imports the dev/prod version of the es5-shim library into your vendor.js file.

Installation / Usage

From within your Ember CLI application (must be >= 0.0.41), run the following:

npm install --save-dev ember-cli-es5-shim
ember generate ember-cli-es5-shim
bower install

You can now use ES5 syntax supported by the es5-shim library.

Notes on Phantomjs and Function.bind

You may choose to use function () {}.bind and expect that phantomjs won't error out when you execute your test runner (phantomjs does not support Function.bind out of the box.

Perhaps try out Function.bind with phantomjs, create a test like so, and execute it with ember test.

module('Function.bind test in phantomjs');
 
test('Function.bind works', function() {
  this.result = false;
 
  (function() {
    return this.result = true;
  }.bind(this))();
 
  ok(this.result);
  delete this.result;
});
