benign

This library provides a single exported function called benign, that when used provides an object that does not do anything, but also tries it's best to appear to your code as if it does.

import { benign } from "benign";

const B = benign();
const b = new B();
console.log(b().foo().bar === b);

Requirements

This package requires Proxy implementation, so should generally in all evergreen browsers. All IE browsers are not supported.

instanceof handling

By default benign will report that everything else is an instance of benign(), but converse is not true:

import { benign } from "benign";

console.log(/foo/ instanceof benign()); // true
console.log(benign() instanceof RegExp); // false

This is explained by the way Symbol.hasInstance works.
