array-from
==========

**A ponyfill for the ES 2015 [`Array.from()`][].**

*** Ponyfill**: A polyfill that doesn't overwrite the native method.
*** ES 2015**: The new name for ES6 that [nobody expected][].

Modeled after the final ES 2015 spec. Credits for the implementation go to the amazing folks of the MDN and [our awesome contributors](https://github.com/studio-b12/array-from/graphs/contributors).

 

[`Array.from()`]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/from "Array.from()"
[nobody expected]: http://webreflection.blogspot.de/2015/01/javascript-and-living-ecmascript.html "JavaScript and the living ECMAScript Standard"

Installation
------------

```sh
$ npm install array-from
```

Usage
-----

Recommended:

```js
var arrayFrom = require('array-from');
// You’ll get the native `Array.from` if it’s available.

function () {console.log(
arrayFrom(arguments).map(require('1-liners/increment'))
);}(1, 2, 3);
//» [2, 3, 4]
```

You can also use it as a classical polyfill. It’s [not recommended][], but sometimes practical:

```js
if (!Array.from) Array.from = require('array-from');
// This will affect all loaded modules.

function () {console.log(
Array.from(arguments).map(require('1-liners/increment'))
);}(1, 2, 3);
//» [2, 3, 4]
```
