string.prototype.endswith <sup></sup>

An ESnext spec-compliant String.prototype.endsWith 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 spec.

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

Other polyfills for String.prototype.endsWith are available:

https://github.com/google/traceur-compiler/blob/315bdad05d41de46d25337422d66686d63100d7a/src/runtime/polyfills/String.js#L39-L66 by Google (~~fails a lot of tests~~ now uses this polyfill and passes all tests)

Installation

Via npm:

npm install string.prototype.endswith

Then, in Node.js:

var endsWith = require('string.prototype.endswith');

<script src="https://bundle.run/string.prototype.endswith"></script>

NOTE: It's recommended that you install this module using a package manager such as npm, because loading multiple polyfills from a CDN (such as bundle.run) will lead to duplicated code.

Notes

Polyfills + test suites for String.prototype.startsWith and String.prototype.contains are available, too.
