A shim is code that intercepts existing API calls and implements different behavior. The idea here is to normalize certain APIs across different environments. So, if two browsers implement the same API differently, you could intercept the API calls in one of those browsers and make its behavior align with the other browser. Or, if a browser has a bug in one of its APIs, you could again intercept calls to that API, and then circumvent the bug.
Bad Practice
// Browser console
console.log('Hello world!');console.error('Something bad happened.');
console.log('Hello world!');console.error('Something bad happened.');
Good Practice
// custom shimed console
Console.log('Hello world!');
Console.log('Hello world!');
