Underscore.string browser support

问题:

Underscore.string seems to provide nice features for javascript string manipulation.

It seems to have all the good points:

• license : MIT
• dependencies : none, it is an extension for Underscore.js but it can be used as standalone, without underscore.js
• weight (minified & gzipped): 4KB
• community, contributors: 58 contributors on Github
• history, contributions: since mid 2010 on Github, contributions seem rather stable although pretty quiet since 2014

Except one point for which I am missing info: the "browser support/compatibility". I am especially worried about older version of IE.

I could find some issues (who have been fixed) on Github for various browser versions, but I could not find any clear statement regarding the browser support:

• https://github.com/epeli/underscore.string/pull/37
• https://github.com/epeli/underscore.string/issues?q=IE8
• https://github.com/epeli/underscore.string/issues/115

I also searched on StackOverflow & did some googling but no luck.

I assume there is no "official" support for browsers so if anyone has experience in using Underscore.string in a production environment where users are on old browsers (IE8+) that would be great.

EDIT:

I also added a question directly on Github to try to get an answer, I'll update this page if I hear anything from there. See https://github.com/epeli/underscore.string/issues/304

回答1:

As pointed out by epeli on the issue I posted on the Github project: running the test suite on IE8 seems a good way to find out if this library is supported by IE8.

Hence I did so, and found out that the result was positive: IE8 is supported by Underscore.string javascript library.

See the result of my test below
