This pull request seeks to polyfill Promise and Fetch for environments where they are unavailable (IE11). It uses
document.write
( 😱 ) to inline script dependencies for browsers which do not meet the necessary conditions, in a yepnope fashion. I sourced the technique from another project I maintain (source).Testing instructions:
Verify that there are no network requests (in browser developer tools Network tab) for
fetch
orpromise
polyfills in capable browsers.Verify that the Gutenberg demo content loads in IE11 without errors.
