 | 
						|
Store information about any JS value in a side channel. Uses WeakMap if available.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Warning: in an environment that lacks `WeakMap`, this implementation will leak memory until you `delete` the `key`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Getting started
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```sh
 | 
						|
npm install --save side-channel
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Usage/Examples
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const assert = require('assert');
 | 
						|
const getSideChannel = require('side-channel');
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const channel = getSideChannel();
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const key = {};
 | 
						|
assert.equal(channel.has(key), false);
 | 
						|
assert.throws(() => channel.assert(key), TypeError);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
channel.set(key, 42);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
channel.assert(key); // does not throw
 | 
						|
assert.equal(channel.has(key), true);
 | 
						|
assert.equal(channel.get(key), 42);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
channel.delete(key);
 | 
						|
assert.equal(channel.has(key), false);
 | 
						|
assert.throws(() => channel.assert(key), TypeError);
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
