WebComponentsMonkeyPatch

A library to write web components code using modern unprefixed syntax and the latest standard method names (these change as the spec evolves).

But so far only two things are fixed:

• webkitCreateShadowRoot is patched to createShadowRoot
• document.register is patched to document.registerElement

When your browser supports unprefixed methods or the latest names, nothing will be patched. So far that's only:

• recent Firefox Nightlies with dom.webcomponents.enabled set to true, and
• recent Chrome Canary with the following features enabled in the chrome://flags page.
  • Experimental Web Platform Features
  • Experimental JavaScript
  • HTML Imports

Usage

Include the library JS file before your code using web components:

<script src="WebComponentsMonkeyPatch.js"></script>
<script>
    // you're ready to go
</script>

Done!

I am by no means an expert on polyfilling or shimming prototypes, so if you find something grossly offensive and/or wrong, feel free to submit a patch/pull request. You can also contribute new shims, of course! Thanks.
