+# object-assign [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/object-assign.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/object-assign)
+
+> ES2015 [`Object.assign()`](http://www.2ality.com/2014/01/object-assign.html) [ponyfill](https://ponyfill.com)
+
+
+## Use the built-in
+
+Node.js 4 and up, as well as every evergreen browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, Safari),
+support `Object.assign()` :tada:. If you target only those environments, then by all
+means, use `Object.assign()` instead of this package.
+
+
+## Install
+
+```
+$ npm install --save object-assign
+```
+
+
+## Usage
+
+```js
+const objectAssign = require('object-assign');
+
+objectAssign({foo: 0}, {bar: 1});
+//=> {foo: 0, bar: 1}
+
+// multiple sources
+objectAssign({foo: 0}, {bar: 1}, {baz: 2});
+//=> {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}
+
+// overwrites equal keys
+objectAssign({foo: 0}, {foo: 1}, {foo: 2});
+//=> {foo: 2}
+
+// ignores null and undefined sources
+objectAssign({foo: 0}, null, {bar: 1}, undefined);
+//=> {foo: 0, bar: 1}
+```
+
+
+## API
+
+### objectAssign(target, [source, ...])
+
+Assigns enumerable own properties of `source` objects to the `target` object and returns the `target` object. Additional `source` objects will overwrite previous ones.
