Everywhere on the web where NodeList.forEach() is mentioned, everybody
agrees that's something that is expected to work, but doesn't. It's
followed by a list of excuses why it doesn't work, as if it was a
completely intractable problem that nobody can ever fix in any way
whatsoever.
Can we please switch efforts from explaining why it's broken to actually
fixing it?
It's sad that I can't use
document.querySelector().filter().map().forEach() without patching
prototypes myself. ES6 Array.from(), even with syntactic sugar, is a
band-aid. NodeList.forEach() still doesn't work, but should.
I don't think anybody cares for NodeList.forEach/map/filter/etc to be
"real" Array functions, so I'd love to see even a simplest fix like:
NodeList.prototype.map = function(...whatever) {
return Array.from(this).map(...whatever);
}
NodeList.prototype.forEach = function(...whatever) {
return Array.from(this).forEach(...whatever);
}
etc.
