Vanillajs-browser-helpers NPM

Vanilla JS Browser helpers

This is a collection of simple, no dependency, vanilla JS snippets with the aim of making it easier to work with vanilla JS.

They is written in ES6, since most of the major browsers support this syntax, all scripts have however been converted into the Echma Script 5 syntax (without polyfills) and stored in the ./es5 folder if needed.

Polyfills haven't been included as they exist in abundance on NPM, and since the need for polyfills are ever diminishing it is more future proof and clutter free to leave them out.
