# es6-weak-map
|
|
## WeakMap collection as specified in ECMAScript6
|
|
|
|
_Roughly inspired by Mark Miller's and Kris Kowal's [WeakMap implementation](https://github.com/drses/weak-map)_.
|
|
|
|
Differences are:
|
|
- Assumes compliant ES5 environment (no weird ES3 workarounds or hacks)
|
|
- Well modularized CJS style
|
|
- Based on one solution.
|
|
|
|
### Limitations
|
|
|
|
- Will fail on non extensible objects provided as keys
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
$ npm install es6-weak-map
|
|
|
|
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/)
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
|
|
If you want to make sure your environment implements `WeakMap`, do:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
require('es6-weak-map/implement');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to use native version when it exists and fallback to polyfill if it doesn't, but without implementing `WeakMap` on global scope, do:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var WeakMap = require('es6-weak-map');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you strictly want to use polyfill even if native `WeakMap` exists, do:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var WeakMap = require('es6-weak-map/polyfill');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### API
|
|
|
|
Best is to refer to [specification](http://people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html#sec-weakmap-objects). Still if you want quick look, follow example:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var WeakMap = require('es6-weak-map');
|
|
|
|
var map = new WeakMap();
|
|
var obj = {};
|
|
|
|
map.set(obj, 'foo'); // map
|
|
map.get(obj); // 'foo'
|
|
map.has(obj); // true
|
|
map.delete(obj); // true
|
|
map.get(obj); // undefined
|
|
map.has(obj); // false
|
|
map.set(obj, 'bar'); // map
|
|
map.has(obj); // false
|
|
```
