I have a simple code that runs perfectly on every browser except for the Internet Explorer 11. How can I make it work on all browsers?
Codepen
Thanks in advance.
'use strict';
let promise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
setTimeout(() => {
resolve("result");
}, 1000);
});
promise
.then(
result => {
alert("Fulfilled: " + result);
},
error => {
alert("Rejected: " + error);
}
);
If you want this type of code to run in IE11 (which does not support much of ES6 at all), then you need to get a 3rd party promise library (like Bluebird), include that library and change your coding to use ES5 coding structures (no arrow functions, no let
, etc...) so you can live within the limits of what older browsers support.
Or, you can use a transpiler (like Babel) to convert your ES6 code to ES5 code that will work in older browsers.
Here's a version of your code written in ES5 syntax with the Bluebird promise library:
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bluebird/3.3.4/bluebird.min.js"></script>
<script>
'use strict';
var promise = new Promise(function(resolve) {
setTimeout(function() {
resolve("result");
}, 1000);
});
promise.then(function(result) {
alert("Fulfilled: " + result);
}, function(error) {
alert("Rejected: " + error);
});
</script>
this works for me in ie 11
(function (undefined) { }).call('object' === typeof window && window || 'object' === typeof self && self || 'object' === typeof global && global || {});
