Angular 6, ES5, and IE11 issues

[CPolarisAlpha]

Hi!

Angular 6:
Alright, so I'm running into a few issues with Jsonata. I've wrapped Jsonata in an Angular 6 package and it's working well on Chrome and Firefox. Unfortunately, I need to support IE 11 as well. I can't find a way (other than fileReplacements and shell scripts) to select the ES5 version of Jsonata pulled down in node_modules. My Angular 6-fu is weak, so if anyone knows of a better way to do this, it would be appreciated.

ES5 and IE11:
When I cracked open the ES5 version of Jsonata I found shorthand property notations (functions returning functions via shorthand), spread operators, and a fat arrow function. None of which are supported by ES5 in IE11. Other browsers seem to handle it just fine, still an issue with IE11.

Thanks!

Yep, I've been working on getting the test suite to run on Nashorn (a barebones ES5 implementation), and found a number of shortcomings. Working on a fix.

Hello!
Facing the same problem as author.
What is a civilized way to import es5 version of JSONATA by default in angular app?

import * as jsonata from 'jsonata';
points to jsonata.d.ts which uses es6 version of Jsonata, hence IE11 crashes.
Any idea? Is there may be a parameter which I can add to package.json of the Application o force use of es5 version?

1. Add needed polyfills to the polyfills.js file
2. import * as jsonata from 'jsonata/jsonata-es5.js';
   this has resolved my issue, basically check where jsonata-es5.js is located. cheers
