get-globals

Easily find all available global variables in document. No guessing. No manually filtering through Object.keys(window).

Problem to solve

Imagine you are joining big front-end project and you want to see all global variables available for you. Some options you have:

1. guess names by typing them in console via dev tools
2. call Objec.keys(window).forEach(key => console.log(key)) and match output against values from ECMAScript specification and those non-standard provided by various browser vendor
3. grab this package and call global.printGlobals() and just look at output

(And yea - I suggest you to go with #3.)

Installation

Install using npm:

npm install get-globals

Example

import globals from 'get-globals';
 
window.sampleVariable;
window.anotherVariable = true;
 
// assign output to variable
const availableGlobals = globals.getGlobals();
// availableGlobals = ['sampleVariable', 'anotherVariable'];
 
 
// ...or just log global variables 
global.printGlobals();
// prints: Available global variables: sampleVariable, anotherVariable.
 

Support for node.js
