string.prototype.at

An ESnext spec-compliant String.prototype.at shim/polyfill/replacement that works as far down as ES3.

This package implements the es-shim API interface. It works in an ES3-supported environment and complies with the proposed spec.

Because String.prototype.at depends on a receiver (the this value), the main export takes the string to operate on as the first argument.

Note that versions of this package before v1.0.0 reflect an earlier, now-inactive proposal (https://github.com/mathiasbynens/String.prototype.at).

Getting started

npm install --save string.prototype.at

Usage/Examples

var at = require('string.prototype.at');
var assert = require('assert');

var arr = [1, [2], [], 3];

var results = at(arr, function (x, i) {
	assert.equal(x, arr[i]);
	return x;
});

assert.deepEqual(results, [1, 2, 3]);

var at = require('string.prototype.at');
var assert = require('assert');
/* when String#at is not present */
delete String.prototype.at;
var shimmedFlatMap = at.shim();

var mapper = function (x) { return [x, 1]; };

assert.equal(shimmedFlatMap, at.getPolyfill());
assert.deepEqual(arr.at(mapper), at(arr, mapper));

var at = require('string.prototype.at');
var assert = require('assert');
/* when String#at is present */
var shimmedIncludes = at.shim();

var mapper = function (x) { return [x, 1]; };

assert.equal(shimmedIncludes, String.prototype.at);
assert.deepEqual(arr.at(mapper), at(arr, mapper));
