+# Contributing to web-streams-shim
+
+Thank you for your interest in contributing to web-streams-shim! This document provides guidelines and information for contributors.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+web-streams-shim provides polyfills and shims to ensure modern Web Streams functionality is available across environments where native support is missing or incomplete. The library focuses on:
+
+- ReadableStream async iteration support
+- ReadableStream.from() static method
+- Request/Response/Blob body streaming extensions
+- bytes() method for binary data handling
+- BYOB (Bring Your Own Buffer) reader support
+
+## Design Philosophy
+
+### Self-Contained Files
+Each polyfill file is intentionally **self-contained** with duplicated utility functions. This design allows:
+- Individual files to work independently when needed
+- Easy cherry-picking of specific polyfills
+- Minimal dependencies and side effects
+- Better tree-shaking in bundlers
+
+While this creates some duplication, it's a deliberate trade-off for modularity.
+
+### Feature Detection First
+All polyfills use feature detection before applying. Native implementations are never overwritten unless `FORCE_POLYFILLS` is enabled (test mode only).
+
+### Prototype Extension Pattern
+The library extends native prototypes safely using:
+- Conditional property definition
+- Non-enumerable properties to avoid iteration issues
+- Proper prototype chain management
+
+## Development Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+- Node.js 18+ (for development dependencies)
+- A modern web browser for testing
+
+### Getting Started
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://github.com/Patrick-ring-motive/web-streams-shim.git
+cd web-streams-shim
+
+# Install dependencies
+npm install
+
+# Run tests (opens test.html in browser)
+npm test
+```

+
+## Making Contributions
+
+### Reporting Issues
+When reporting bugs, please include:
+- Browser name and version
+- Operating system
+- Minimal code example reproducing the issue
+- Expected vs actual behavior
+- Console errors (if any)
+
+### Code Contributions
+
+#### Adding New Polyfills
+1. Create a new self-contained file with the pattern:
+```javascript
+(() => {
+    // Feature detection
+    if (typeof TargetAPI === 'undefined') return;
+    
+    // Utility functions (Q, extend, setStrings, etc.)
+    const Q = fn => { /* ... */ };
+    
+    // Polyfill implementation with conditional application
+    if (!TargetAPI.prototype.method) {
+        Object.defineProperty(TargetAPI.prototype, 'method', {
+            value: /* implementation */,
+            configurable: true,
+            writable: true,
+            enumerable: false
+        });
+    }
+})();
+```
+
+2. Add comprehensive JSDoc comments
+3. Include the polyfill in web-streams-core.js if it's a core feature
+4. Add tests in test/test.js
+5. Update README.md with compatibility information
+
+#### Testing Requirements
+- All new features must include tests in test/test.js
+- Tests should verify both polyfilled and native behavior
+- Test error cases and edge conditions
+- Verify async iteration patterns work correctly
+
+#### Code Style
+- Use 4-space indentation
+- Use descriptive variable names
+- Prefer `const` over `let` where possible
+- Use optional chaining (`?.`) for safe property access
+- Wrap all polyfills in IIFEs to avoid global scope pollution
+- Use arrow functions for utility functions
+- Use `function` keyword for named methods/constructors
+
+#### Documentation
+- Add JSDoc comments for all public APIs
+- Include `@param`, `@returns`, and `@example` tags
+- Document browser compatibility in README.md
+- Update TypeScript definitions in .d.ts files
+
+### Pull Request Process
+
+1. **Fork and Branch**
+   - Fork the repository
+   - Create a feature branch: `git checkout -b feature/my-feature`
+   - Make your changes with clear, atomic commits
+
+2. **Test Your Changes**
+   - Run the test suite in multiple browsers
+   - Add new tests for new features
+   - Ensure no regressions in existing functionality
+
+3. **Update Documentation**
+   - Update README.md if adding new features
+   - Add/update TypeScript definitions
+   - Include code examples in JSDoc comments
+
+4. **Submit Pull Request**
+   - Provide clear description of changes
+   - Reference any related issues
+   - Ensure all tests pass
+   - Be responsive to code review feedback
+
+## Testing Guidelines
+
+### Browser Testing
+Test in at least:
+- Chrome/Edge (latest)
+- Firefox (latest)
+- Safari (latest)
+- One older browser version where polyfills are needed
+
+### Test Patterns
+```javascript
+runner.test('Feature: Description', async () => {
+    const stream = new ReadableStream({/* ... */});
+    // Test implementation
+    assert(condition, 'Assertion message');
+});
+```
+
+### Running Tests
+Open `test/test.html` in a browser. Tests run automatically and display results with:
+- ✓ Green for passing tests
+- ✗ Red for failing tests
+- Summary statistics at the bottom
+
+## Browser Compatibility
+
+### Target Browsers
+The library targets browsers with:
+- Partial Web Streams API support
+- Missing async iteration on streams
+- Missing ReadableStream.from()
+- Incomplete body streaming support
+
+### Known Issues
+- IE11: Not supported (requires full polyfill like web-streams-polyfill)
+- Safari < 14.1: Limited BYOB reader support
+- Firefox < 100: Some iteration edge cases
+
+See README.md for detailed compatibility matrices.
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Best Practices
+- Polyfills only apply when features are missing
+- Use feature detection, not browser detection
+- Avoid unnecessary object creation in hot paths
+- Leverage native implementations when available
+
+### Benchmarking
+When adding performance-sensitive code:
+- Compare against native implementation
+- Test with large datasets
+- Measure memory usage for streaming operations
+- Profile in multiple browsers
+
+## Release Process
+
+1. Update version in package.json
+2. Update CHANGELOG (if exists)
+3. Create git tag: `git tag v1.0.x`
+4. Push tag: `git push origin v1.0.x`
+5. Create GitHub release
+6. npm publish happens automatically via GitHub Actions

+# Web Streams Extensions
+
+**Non-standard convenience methods and polyfills for modern serverless environments**
+
+This directory contains extensions to the Web Streams API that are **intentionally non-standard**. They provide helpful functionality and API consistency that isn't part of official specifications but is useful in practice.
+
+## Purpose
+
+These extensions are designed for:
+- **Cloudflare Workers** - Missing File, Location constructors
+- **Vercel Edge Runtime** - Limited Web API surface
+- **Deno Deploy** - Some API gaps in standard library
+- **Google Apps Script** - Non-browser environment needing browser APIs
+- **Other serverless platforms** - Various API compatibility needs
+
+## Files
+
+### Core Extensions
+
+#### [`web-streams-extensions.js`](web-streams-extensions.js)
+**Complete extension bundle with all non-standard methods**
+
+Adds:
+- `Request/Response.stream()` - Method alias for `.body` property
+- `Request/Response/Blob` async iteration - Direct iteration over content
+- `Blob.body` and `Blob.bodyUsed` - Match Request/Response API surface
+- `Blob` helper methods - `blob()`, `clone()`, `formData()`, `json()`
+- `ArrayBuffer` iteration - `bytes()`, `Symbol.iterator`, `values()`
+- `SharedArrayBuffer` iteration - `bytes()`, `Symbol.iterator`, `values()`
+- `ReadableStream` helper methods - `text()`, `json()`, `arrayBuffer()`, `blob()`, `bytes()`, `formData()`, `clone()`, `stream()`, `body`
+- `ReadableStream.from()` fallback - Creates streams in limited environments
+- Advanced parsing - `sharedArrayBuffer()`, `dataView()`, `searchParams()`, `file()` on Request/Response/Blob/ReadableStream
+- `DataView` iteration - `bytes()`, `Symbol.iterator`, `values()`
+
+```javascript
+// Usage
+import 'web-streams-shim/extensions';
+
+// Method-based API
+const stream = response.stream();
+
+// Direct iteration
+for await (const chunk of response) {
+  console.log(chunk);
+}
+
+// Blob API consistency
+const blobStream = myBlob.body;
+const isReading = myBlob.bodyUsed;
+
+// ArrayBuffer iteration
+const buffer = await response.arrayBuffer();
+for (const byte of buffer) {
+  // Process each byte
+}
+
+// SharedArrayBuffer iteration
+const shared = await response.sharedArrayBuffer();
+for (const byte of shared) {
+  // Process each byte (thread-safe)
+}
+
+// ReadableStream parsing helpers (consume stream)
+const stream = response.body;
+const text = await stream.text();        // Parse as text
+const json = await stream.json();        // Parse as JSON
+const blob = await stream.blob();        // Create Blob
+const bytes = await stream.bytes();      // Get Uint8Array
+const buffer = await stream.arrayBuffer(); // Get ArrayBuffer
+const form = await stream.formData();    // Parse FormData
+const cloned = stream.clone();           // Tee and return copy
+
+// ReadableStream self-reference (API consistency)
+const same = stream.stream();            // Returns self
+const body = stream.body;                // Returns self
+
+// Advanced parsing methods (work on Request/Response/Blob/ReadableStream)
+const shared = await response.sharedArrayBuffer();  // SharedArrayBuffer for Workers
+const view = await response.dataView();             // DataView for binary manipulation
+const params = await response.searchParams();       // URLSearchParams from text
+const file = await response.file('data.json', {     // File object with metadata
+  type: 'application/json',
+  lastModified: Date.now()
+});
+
+// DataView iteration
+const view = await response.dataView();
+for (const byte of view) {
+  // Iterate over DataView bytes
+}
+const viewBytes = view.bytes(); // Convert to Uint8Array
+
+// ReadableStream.from() - works even without native support
+const stream = ReadableStream.from(['hello', 'world']);
+for await (const chunk of stream) {
+  console.log(chunk); // 'hello', 'world'
+}
+```
+
+#### [`Record-stream.js`](Record-stream.js)
+**Minimal stream() method only**
+
+Lightweight alternative that only adds `stream()` method and `Blob.body` property. Use when you don't need the other extensions.
+
+```javascript
+// Usage
+import 'web-streams-shim/extensions/Record-stream.js';
+
+const stream = response.stream(); // Alias for response.body
+const blobStream = myBlob.body;
+```
+
+#### [`type-extensions.js`](type-extensions.js)
+**Prototype chain setup for runtime type traceability**
+
+Extends Web API methods to inherit from the class of the type they return. This provides better debugging and type introspection.
+
+```javascript
+// After loading type-extensions.js
+Response.prototype.blob instanceof Function // true
+Response.prototype.blob.__proto__ === Blob // true (extended with Blob)
+
+// Better runtime type checking
+console.log(Response.prototype.json); // Shows connection to JSON
+console.log(Response.prototype.arrayBuffer); // Shows connection to ArrayBuffer
+```
+
+**Extends:**
+- `Request/Response/Blob/ReadableStream` methods: blob(), text(), json(), arrayBuffer(), stream(), formData(), bytes(), slice(), sharedArrayBuffer(), dataView(), searchParams(), file()
+- `Request/Response/Blob` getters: url, headers, body
+- `ArrayBuffer` methods: bytes(), slice()
+- `SharedArrayBuffer` methods: bytes(), slice()
+- `DataView` methods: bytes()
+- Iteration: ArrayBuffer, SharedArrayBuffer, DataView (Symbol.iterator, values())
+
+### Polyfills for Missing Constructors
+
+#### [`file.js`](file.js)
+**File constructor polyfill for serverless environments**
+
+Provides a complete `File` class implementation when the native constructor is missing. Extends `Blob` with file-specific properties.
+
+```javascript
+// Usage in Cloudflare Workers
+import 'web-streams-shim/extensions/file.js';
+
+const file = new File(['content'], 'document.txt', {
+  type: 'text/plain',
+  lastModified: Date.now()
+});
+
+console.log(file.name); // 'document.txt'
+console.log(file.lastModified); // timestamp
+console.log(file.size); // 7 (from Blob)
+```
+
+**Properties:**
+- `name` - File name string
+- `lastModified` - Timestamp in milliseconds
+- `lastModifiedDate` - Date object (deprecated but included)
+- `webkitRelativePath` - Always empty string
+- All `Blob` properties (size, type, etc.)
+
+#### [`location.js`](location.js)
+**Location constructor polyfill for serverless environments**
+
+Provides a `Location` class when it doesn't exist. Extends `URL` with Location-specific methods and properties.
+
+```javascript
+// Usage in Deno Deploy
+import 'web-streams-shim/extensions/location.js';
+
+const loc = new Location('https://example.com/path?query=value');
+
+console.log(loc.href); // 'https://example.com/path?query=value'
+console.log(loc.pathname); // '/path'
+console.log(loc.search); // '?query=value'
+
+// Location-specific methods (no-ops in server context)
+loc.assign('https://other.com'); // Updates href, doesn't navigate
+loc.reload(); // Console log, doesn't actually reload
+loc.replace('https://other.com'); // Updates href, doesn't navigate
+```
+
+**Why these exist:** Browser code often checks `location.href` or creates `new Location()`. These polyfills allow that code to run in serverless environments without modification, even though navigation methods are no-ops.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Load Everything
+```html
+<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/web-streams-shim/extensions/web-streams-extensions.js"></script>
+```
+
+### Selective Loading
+```javascript
+// Just stream() method
+await import('web-streams-shim/extensions/Record-stream.js');
+
+// Just File constructor
+await import('web-streams-shim/extensions/file.js');
+
+// Type system extensions
+await import('web-streams-shim/extensions/type-extensions.js');
+```
+
+### With Module Bundler
+```javascript
+// All extensions
+import 'web-streams-shim/extensions';
+
+// Individual extensions
+import 'web-streams-shim/extensions/file.js';
+import 'web-streams-shim/extensions/location.js';
+```
+
+##  Important Notes
+
+### Non-Standard Warning
+**These extensions are NOT part of any web standard.** They are convenience methods that:
+- Fill gaps in serverless platforms
+- Provide API consistency
+- Enable browser code to run server-side
+- Add useful iteration patterns
+
+
+### ArrayBuffer/SharedArrayBuffer/DataView Iteration Caution
+
+Making `ArrayBuffer`, `SharedArrayBuffer`, and `DataView` iterable is particularly non-standard. This could:
+- Surprise developers expecting normal buffer behavior  
+- Conflict with future standards
+- Break code that relies on buffers not being iterable
+
+Use with awareness of these implications.
+
+### ReadableStream.from() Fallback
+
+The `ReadableStream.from()` implementation provides fallbacks for environments where:
+- The static `from()` method doesn't exist
+- The constructor doesn't support async iterable sources
+- Streams need to be created from iterables in any environment
+
+The fallback chain tries: native `from()` → constructor with async source → collect to Blob then Response.body
+
+## Testing
+
+Extensions should be tested in target environments:
+
+```javascript
+// Test in your serverless platform
+import 'web-streams-shim/extensions';
+
+// Verify File works
+const file = new File(['test'], 'test.txt');
+console.assert(file.name === 'test.txt', 'File name works');
+
+// Verify Location works  
+const loc = new Location('https://example.com/path');
+console.assert(loc.pathname === '/path', 'Location parsing works');
+
+// Verify stream() alias
+const res = new Response('test');
+console.assert(res.stream() === res.body, 'stream() is alias for body');
+
+// Verify async iteration
+for await (const chunk of res) {
+  console.log('Chunk received:', chunk);
+}
+
+// Verify SharedArrayBuffer
+const shared = await res.sharedArrayBuffer();
+console.assert(shared instanceof SharedArrayBuffer, 'SharedArrayBuffer works');
+
+// Verify DataView iteration
+const view = await new Response('test').dataView();
+let byteCount = 0;
+for (const byte of view) {
+  byteCount++;
+}
+console.assert(byteCount === 4, 'DataView iteration works');
+
+// Verify searchParams
+const params = await new Response('key=value&foo=bar').searchParams();
+console.assert(params.get('key') === 'value', 'searchParams works');
+
+// Verify file() method
+const fileObj = await res.file('data.txt', { type: 'text/plain' });
+console.assert(fileObj.name === 'data.txt', 'file() method works');
+
+// Verify ReadableStream.from fallback
+const stream = ReadableStream.from(['a', 'b', 'c']);
+const chunks = [];
+for await (const chunk of stream) {
+  chunks.push(chunk);
+}
+console.assert(chunks.length === 3, 'ReadableStream.from works');
+```

+## Philosophy
+
+Extensions exist to be **pragmatic** rather than **pure**:
+- Standards are ideal, but environments vary
+- Browser APIs are useful server-side too
+- Consistency helps developer experience
+- Non-standard doesn't mean wrong
+
+If a method helps you ship code faster and works reliably, use it. Just document that it's non-standard so future maintainers understand.
