| # assign-symbols [](http://badge.fury.io/js/assign-symbols) | |
| > Assign the enumerable es6 Symbol properties from an object (or objects) to the first object passed on the arguments. Can be used as a supplement to other extend, assign or merge methods as a polyfill for the Symbols part of the es6 Object.assign method. | |
| From the [Mozilla Developer docs for Symbol](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Symbol): | |
| > A symbol is a unique and immutable data type and may be used as an identifier for object properties. The symbol object is an implicit object wrapper for the symbol primitive data type. | |
| ## Install | |
| Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) | |
| ```sh | |
| $ npm i assign-symbols --save | |
| ``` | |
| ## Usage | |
| ```js | |
| var assignSymbols = require('assign-symbols'); | |
| var obj = {}; | |
| var one = {}; | |
| var symbolOne = Symbol('aaa'); | |
| one[symbolOne] = 'bbb'; | |
| var two = {}; | |
| var symbolTwo = Symbol('ccc'); | |
| two[symbolTwo] = 'ddd'; | |
| assignSymbols(obj, one, two); | |
