Get-globals NPM

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.)
