## README

# NameSpace Polyfill
> Use tomorrow's namespaces today!

## What is this?

We are currently [discussing making a namespace in Node.js](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/21551).

There is a debate regarding the best mechanism to do so. Currently there are two major approaches:

* using a url like scheme such as `nodejs:${builtin}`
* using a scope such as `@nodejs/${builtin}`

One of the critiques against the url like scheme is that it would not be easy to polyfill. This project
serves as a proof of concept that we will be able to polyfill any approach to namespaces, making polyfilling
a non-issue for reaching consesnsus in Node.js core.

## Installing

npm install --save namespace-polyfill

## Using

node -r namespace-polyfill [your-entry-point.js]

## Now what?

You can start using the `nodejs:` namespace

```js
const fs = require('nodejs:fs');
```
