React-diagrams: Error on Internet Explorer 11 when moving a point

[will-stone]

Object doesn't support property or method 'closest'

[solussd]

There is a polyfill for this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/closest

[will-stone]

I'm confused, why has this been closed? Is the polyfil going to be included?

[dylanvorster]

no, because its up to you to include poly fills as an application developer (its not my fault that IE 11 is a colossal piece of shit :) ) I would however like another opinion on this. @gen4sp @alexisvincent @solussd

[solussd]

I agree polyfills are something that the application developer needs to decide to include or not. It would be difficult to determine for the user what browsers/browser versions they want to support.

[will-stone]

Could this be included in the documentation? The polyfill, not your view on IE :) I agree that IE is a total pain in the arse but it's still a widely used browser.

[dylanvorster]

Sure, ill do a documentation bump tonight. I will also clean up a few things

[alexisvincent]

I recommend using a ponyfil, at the library level. Note, I do not mean a polyfil.

[will-stone]

That'd be great, thanks for all the hard work on this project.

Thanks for updating with new "closest" dependency. Can you please bump the version so Yarn can upgrade the package? I know I'm asking a lot, but a tagged release process or a changelog would also be much appreciated.

[dylanvorster]

done

[will-stone]

Great, thanks.
