ES6 Object.assign()

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.

Installation

NPM

npm install es6-object-assign

Manual download and import

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.

Usage

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>
