globals

Global identifiers from different JavaScript environments

It's just a JSON file, so use it in any environment.

This package is used by ESLint.

This package no longer accepts new environments. If you need it for ESLint, just create a plugin.

Install

$ npm install globals

Usage

const globals = require('globals');

console.log(globals.browser);
/*
{
    addEventListener: false,
    applicationCache: false,
    ArrayBuffer: false,
    atob: false,
    …
}
*/

This information is used by static analysis tools to flag incorrect behavior. We assume all variables should be false unless we hear otherwise.

For Node.js this package provides two sets of globals:

When analyzing code that is known to run outside of a CommonJS wrapper, for example, JavaScript modules, nodeBuiltin can find accidental CommonJS references.
