# globals
> Global identifiers from different JavaScript environments
It's just a [JSON file](globals.json), so you can use it in any environment.
This package is used by ESLint 8 and earlier. For ESLint 9 and later, you should depend on this package directly in [your ESLint config](https://eslint.org/docs/latest/use/configure/language-options#predefined-global-variables).
## Install
```sh
npm install globals
```
## Usage
```js
import globals from 'globals';
console.log(globals.browser);
/*
{
addEventListener: false,
applicationCache: false,
ArrayBuffer: false,
atob: false,
…
}
*/
```
Each global is given a value of `true` or `false`. A value of `true` indicates that the variable may be overwritten. A value of `false` indicates that the variable should be considered read-only. 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:
- `globals.nodeBuiltin`: Globals available to all code running in Node.js.
These will usually be available as properties on the `globalThis` object and include `process`, `Buffer`, but not CommonJS arguments like `require`.
See: https://nodejs.org/api/globals.html
- `globals.node`: A combination of the globals from `nodeBuiltin` plus all CommonJS arguments ("CommonJS module scope").
See: https://nodejs.org/api/modules.html#modules_the_module_scope
When analyzing code that is known to run outside of a CommonJS wrapper, for example, JavaScript modules, `nodeBuiltin` can find accidental CommonJS references.
