Last release:

Library that gets the description of a JavaScript Symbol. It correctly distinguishes between `Symbol()` and `Symbol('')` when possible, and is useful when you need consistent symbol naming for `Symbol('foo')`, built-in symbols like `Symbol.iterator`, or undefined descriptions.

Project status

  • The GitHub source appears to be maintained, with an upstream push on 2026-01-13 (after the last published tagged update in late 2024), indicating ongoing activity rather than dormancy.
  • Update cadence looks infrequent based on the available tagged updates (2021-08, 2024-02, 2024-12), though there is evidence of additional work in 2026 that is not reflected in a new tagged version here.

  • v1.0.1

    Release v1.0.1 was published on 2024-02-06, but the publisher provided no release notes. No specific changes, fixes, or migration guidance are described, so developer impact cannot be determined from the provided information.
