# es6-symbol | ||||
## ECMAScript 6 Symbol polyfill | ||||
For more information about symbols see following links | ||||
- [Symbols in ECMAScript 6 by Axel Rauschmayer](http://www.2ality.com/2014/12/es6-symbols.html) | ||||
- [MDN Documentation](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Symbol) | ||||
- [Specification](https://tc39.github.io/ecma262/#sec-symbol-objects) | ||||
### Limitations | ||||
Underneath it uses real string property names which can easily be retrieved, however accidental collision with other property names is unlikely. | ||||
### Usage | ||||
If you'd like to use native version when it exists and fallback to [ponyfill](https://ponyfill.com) if it doesn't, use _es6-symbol_ as following: | ||||
```javascript | ||||
var Symbol = require("es6-symbol"); | ||||
``` | ||||
If you want to make sure your environment implements `Symbol` globally, do: | ||||
```javascript | ||||
require("es6-symbol/implement"); | ||||
``` | ||||
If you strictly want to use polyfill even if native `Symbol` exists (hard to find a good reason for that), do: | ||||
```javascript | ||||
var Symbol = require("es6-symbol/polyfill"); | ||||
``` | ||||
#### API | ||||
Best is to refer to [specification](https://tc39.github.io/ecma262/#sec-symbol-objects). Still if you want quick look, follow examples: | ||||
```javascript | ||||
var Symbol = require("es6-symbol"); | ||||
var symbol = Symbol("My custom symbol"); | ||||
var x = {}; | ||||
x[symbol] = "foo"; | ||||
console.log(x[symbol]); | ||||
("foo"); | ||||
// Detect iterable: | ||||
var iterator, result; | ||||
if (possiblyIterable[Symbol.iterator]) { | ||||
iterator = possiblyIterable[Symbol.iterator](); | ||||
result = iterator.next(); | ||||
while (!result.done) { | ||||
console.log(result.value); | ||||
result = iterator.next(); | ||||
} | ||||
} | ||||
``` | ||||
### Installation | ||||
#### NPM | ||||
In your project path: | ||||
$ npm install es6-symbol | ||||
##### Browser | ||||
To port it to Browser or any other (non CJS) environment, use your favorite CJS bundler. No favorite yet? Try: [Browserify](http://browserify.org/), [Webmake](https://github.com/medikoo/modules-webmake) or [Webpack](http://webpack.github.io/) | ||||
## Tests | ||||
$ npm test | ||||
