poor-mans-symbol

Poor man's Symbol implementation, not compliant. Uses window.Symbol if present

This is not a polyfill, it's only good to be used to generate pseudo-private property keys.

Usage with npm and ES2015

npm install --save poor-mans-symbol

import PoorSymbol from './poor-mans-symbol';
const ಠ = PoorSymbol('my-nice-module');
el[ಠ] = 'Some private stuff';

Usage without build tools

Copy the content of the file dist/poor-mans-symbol.browser.js into your code, don't load that file separately, it's too small. Then:

var ಠ = PoorSymbol('my-nice-module');
el[ಠ] = 'Some private stuff';
