Vue-storefront: IE11 support

[pkarw]

We're supporting all the modern browsers but seemingly the IE11 still got some issues with Vue Storefront. We're looking forward for somebody to test it out and fix the major IE11 errors.

I've just seen you are using VueCarousel here to sliders. Unfortunately, it's not supported in IE11 and they have still opened an issue on GH here: https://github.com/SSENSE/vue-carousel/issues/190
TLDR;
They need to add polyfill - array.prototype.includes()
The worst information here is an empty gallery in the product page

If this PR: https://github.com/SSENSE/vue-carousel/pull/266 will be merged and released we can update lib in our package.json and sliders in vue-storefron should working fine. But dunno when and if it will be done.

The PR you mentioned is merged now, @kjugi

[kjugi]

It's merged and released but I think it's still old version in package.json in this repo. Need to update it min. to 0.12.0

IE11 is still not working.

This issue still exists. There is no running version of it for IE11. Are there any libs which can help polyfilling?

Hi together, hi @pkarw

I've seen that you dropped IE11 support in the package.json officially from 1.10.1 and upwards.
As you are focusing on stability and maintainability of VSF 1 - are you planning to reenable IE11 support, or is this something you would like to have the community to work on? #hackathon

I would like to add that not having IE11 support is pretty poor. I know only 2% of people use this but from looking at one of my sites that's still over 2000 customers not been able to shop. For a so-called production-ready system this isn't great and going to make it really difficult for agencies like myself to support it.

Does anyone have a list of how many modules are broken in IE?

I started on it hoping for a quick fix but stopped after about 4, they were:

Proxy-polyfill : problems with special chars
query-string: => problem
strict-uri-encode: same as above
vue-offline: I can see someone made a start on it but it's in the core.

Unfortunately, we as a core team, are not able to invest our focus and resources into IE11 anymore. We're focused on VSF 1.12, 1.13 and VSF-next instead and we believe it will bring more value to the humanity ;P Any contributions regarding IE11 welcomed (of course if they won't break the UX or performance for non-IE users). Thanks!
