Installation

npm install -g globimp

In package.json you can add globimp command to postinstall the hooks. This way the globimp typings and variables will be updated when your package.json updates its dependencies

scripts : {
  ...
  "postinstall" : "globimp"
  ...
}

Generate a globimp files

At the root of your npm project :

globimp

This will generate a globimp.config.json based on your package.json at the root. It will also generate an globimp.ts in <root-of-project>/src

Enable Globimp

At the root of your project import the global variable for them to be defined.

import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { App } from "./app";

// Add this line
import "./globimp";

ReactDOM.render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <App />
  </React.StrictMode>,
  document.getElementById("root")
);

Access default imports globaly

In globimp.config.json, to have access a the default import, set the dependency value to true under the key defaultImport

{
    "defaultImports": {
        ...
        "axios": true,
        ...
    },
    ...
}

WARNING: Any change in globimp.config.json require a globimp in order for the update to be taken into account

Access named imports globaly

In globimp.config.json, to access a named import globally, add the name of the named import in the array of the relevant dependency
