Description

iOS Safari 8.0 does not support the `const` keyword, but this library uses it in the published version. It would be great if the published npm module inlcuded a pre-processed build for browsers that was backwards compatible with somewhat older browsers. The library advertises iOS >= 7.1 support so it should support iOS 8.
