[Browser Support] Iconify/React 1.1.1 is not <= 11 compatible.

the npm distributed bundle @iconify/react is not presently being transpiled for backwards compatibility.

An example of said incompatibility can be found here: https://github.com/iconify/iconify-react/blob/master/src/icon.js#L62

Object.assign is not compatible with IE less than Edge. Are there any plans to support older browsers like Iconify itself? Thanks in advance!

@cyberalien - I would argue that you do not make concessions around your TS implementation. I would suggest that you major version the TS only / TS base (2.x instead of 1.x). Legacy support should be community driven and you should feel empowered to take your core project in the direction you see fit.

I realize this advice comes from the ether but Id be happy to help support backwards compatibility of newer iterations into ES5 compliant (or transpilable) code as much as possible to keep feature parity between the two.

Excellent!

I’m currently working on next iteration of Iconify, which is written in TypeScript. Unfortunately TypeScript uses Object.assign regardless of compile target and doesn’t transpile it to anything else, so I’ll just avoid using it. Compatibility with all users is more important than few saved bytes.
