Store information about any JS value in a side channel. Uses WeakMap if available.
Warning: this implementation will leak memory until you delete the key.
Use side-channel for the best available strategy.
npm install --save side-channel-weakmapconst assert = require('assert');
const getSideChannelList = require('side-channel-weakmap');
const channel = getSideChannelList();
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);Clone the repo, npm install, and run npm test
