This looks to be related to a feature added in 6.5. We generally only backport fixes for bugs introduced during that release. Why do you think it should be backported?

#3 @cbravobernal

  • Summary changed from Backport: Add import map polyfill for modules. to Add import map polyfill for modules.

With backport I meant moving code that has been in Gutenberg to Core, in 6.5.

At least we call them backports in the sync issue:
https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/57959

If it has a different meaning in Core, I will change the title.

Modules will be available in 6.5, and would be cool to have them also working in old Safari versions.

Thanks for the info!

#4 @jorbin

  • Component changed from General to Script Loader
  • Milestone changed from Awaiting Review to 6.5

Thanks for the clarification. A backport means moving from one branch to another in core.

Adjusting the milestone and component.

Code-wise it seems to be ready to go. Do we have unit tests covering other polyfills? We could verify if the script prints when there are items in the import map.

I will take a look at it, if not, I will check if can add unit tests to cover them.

@gziolo Was this specifically added for Safari < 15? Do we even support that?

As far as I remember it could be tested in Safari 14 but the same issue existed for other browsers as listed in https://caniuse.com/mdn-html_elements_script_type_importmap. The browser support is at 90% overall, but I'm not entirely sure how to compare that with what WordPress officially supports.

#18 @swissspidy

The browserslist website makes it easy to compare that. I just opened #60970 because of that.

#19 @gziolo

That would be the query with the browsers WP supports:
https://browsersl.ist/#q=%3E1%25%2C+last+1+Android+versions%2C+last+1+ChromeAndroid+versions%2C+last+2+Chrome+versions%2C+last+2+Firefox+versions%2C+last+2+Safari+versions%2C+last+2+iOS+versions%2C+last+2+Edge+versions%2C+last+2+Opera+versions

It looks like we don't need the polyfill for the import map, taking into account the list of currently supported browsers.
