Time for action – patch Internet Explorer with polyfills

Perform the steps to patch Internet Explorer with polyfills:

  1. We have a number of polyfills in the scripts folder namely html5shiv.js, respond.js, and placeholder.js. Let's combine these scripts into a single file.
  2. First, create a new JavaScript file named polyfills.js that will hold the content of those polyfill scripts.
  3. Open polyfills.js in Sublime Text.
  4. Add the following lines to import the polyfill scripts:
    // @koala-prepend "html5shiv.js"
    // @koala-prepend "respond.js"
    // @koala-prepend "placeholder.js"

    Note

    The @koala-prepend directive is the Koala proprietary directive to import JavaScript files. Read more about it in the Koala documentation page at https://github.com/oklai/koala/wiki/JS-CSS-minify-and-combine ...
