IE 11 support?

[Jcomper]

IE 11 is not supported as far as I can tell.
Dependency jexl is using ES6 class syntax, after transpiling it to ES5 I faced a problem that Proxy object is used in formproperty.ts

set properties(properties: FormProperty[] | { [key: string]: FormProperty }) {
    /**
     * Override the setter to add an observer that notices when an item is added or removed.
     */
    this._properties = new Proxy(properties, this._propertyProxyHandler);
  }

and there is no Proxy Polyfill for IE11.

Any thoughts on this?

Sorry, but currently, we have no plan about IE11 support.
Of course, if you come up with a pull request providing IE11 support and not impacting negatively the current implementation, we would definitely merge it.

@Jcomper - Are you planning yo create PR ? My angular app also does not compile in IE 11 because of JEXL not providing es5 transpiled code.

Jexl ES5 support pull request is already there:
TomFrost/Jexl#57

A Proxy polyfill is also provided by Google:
https://github.com/GoogleChrome/proxy-polyfill
The traps provided by this polyfill are sufficient.

Jexl ES5 support pull request has been merged and released as version 2.3.0
https://github.com/TomFrost/Jexl#57
TomFrost/Jexl#87

@Jcomper, @akshaygolash

To build for IE11

1. install the latest version of Jexl
   npm install [email protected]
2. install the latest version of the Proxy-Polyfill
   npm install [email protected]

your are ready to go

Hi @daniele-pecora . I tried your suggested solution but it doesn't work with latest [email protected] and also [email protected]

IE11 error messages:

• version 2.5.7: "Proxy polyfill does not support trap 'logger'"
• version 2.5.0: "Proxy polyfill does not support trap 'deleteProperty'"

Hi @rodrigo-vizbelis could you try this version I build here:
ngx-schema-form-2.5.7-beta.1.tgz.zip

Just extract the ZIP file somewhere and install via path like
$ npm install ./myfolder/ngx-schema-form-2.5.7-beta.1.tgz

@daniele-pecora ExtendedProxyHandler changes solves issue about proxy polyfill unsupported traps. Here is a stack trace from new IE11 issue:

stack: "TypeError: Cannot create property for a non-extensible object

   }

Error comes from ObjectProperty class line 55:

this.properties[propertyId] = this.formPropertyFactory.createProperty(propertySchema, this, propertyId);

It seems that this issue is related to proxy polyfill because i can't reproduce it after removing Proxy object usage from FormProperty class.

@rodrigo-vizbelis

The GoogleChrome/proxy-polyfill does make the wrapped object immutable by calling Object.seal(...) on them.
That is why adding new properties wont work here.

As I see there is another proxy polyfill out there: es6-proxy-polyfill which does not seal the target and proxied objects.

Would you like try it out?

@daniele-pecora I think the label on the issue is misleading. Maybe remove it?

I was trying to play with polyfills, but didn't manage to make it working. So rolled back to 2.3.2 :(
