extendscript-ponyfills

Why

ExtendScript is stuck in ES3, but we like our simple ES6 methods. A common solution is to polyfill these methods, but I'll let sindresorhus and hyperbrew explain why that's not a good idea, especially so in Adobe-land.

Usage

npm i extendscript-ponyfills

import { arrayFrom, forEach } from "extendscript-ponyfills";

(function script() {
	const comp = app.project.activeItem;

	if (!(comp && comp instanceof CompItem)) {
		return alert("No comp found.");
	}

	const layers: Layer[] = arrayFrom(comp.layers);

	if (layers.length) {
		forEach(layers, (layer) => alert(layer.name));
	} else {
		alert("No layers found.");
	}
})();

---

Or, download the latest release to #include in your .jsx script.

// @include "path/to/extendscript-ponyfills-vX.X.X.jsx"

(function script() {
	var comp = app.project.activeItem;

	if (!(comp && comp instanceof CompItem)) {
		return alert("No comp found.");
	}

	var layers = PONIES.arrayFrom(comp.layers);

	if (layers.length) {
		PONIES.forEach(layers, function (layer) {
			alert(layer.name);
		});
	} else {
		alert("No layers found.");
	}
})();

By default the ponyfills are namespaced to PONIES—you can change this name on the first line of the .jsx, or remove the IIFE entirely.
