docx is not being transpiled correctly in IE11

[alperunal]

Hello,

I use docx in my Angular 7 application. It works well on Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge. However, i get syntax error on ie11.

Target is ES5 in my tsconfig file. Other 3rd party libraries are correctly being transpiled.

I have never tested this library on internet explorer before

Good to know

Can you tell me what front-end framework you are using? Angular?

Target in docx is es6:

Yes, I use Angular 7.

I set target to es5 also needed to add
"lib": [ "es2015", "dom" ]
to build docx for es5.

Seeing exact error in an ember application. ember-cli uses babel for transpiling.

I'm also experiencing this issue, is there a workaround for getting it working in IE11?

[dolanmiu]

There is a PR which solves this issue, but it is failing some tests

#241

Same issue here.

Any follow up on why the test fails?
Would love to be able to use this with IE

Any progress on this ,I am facing this for Vue. Although I could transpile library. I am getting below error
"export 'Paragraph' was not found in 'docx'

I thought maybe I should share this... I have it working but, the tests fail. From what I can tell it works fine though (both in ie11 and non-ie11). https://github.com/XGhozt/docx

I won't be doing this feature as the solution is to change the target from es6 to es5, which significantly increases the size of the bundle (300kb to 1.3mb, that's a 400% increase).

I am not sure if it is worth it. Microsoft will drop support of IE completely in 2021, so I don't think developers should support it either.

If people want IE11 support, then im afraid they need to build their own one.
