polyfill
Browser feature backport
A polyfill is code that provides functionality a browser or environment doesn't natively support, making newer features work in older systems.
The term comes from Polyfilla, a British brand of spackling paste—the code fills gaps in implementation.
We added a polyfill for older browsers that don't support the fetch API.
Polyfills are common in web development to ensure backward compatibility.
