Package Exports

confusing-browser-globals

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (confusing-browser-globals) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

confusing-browser-globals

A curated list of browser globals that commonly cause confusion and are not recommended to use without an explicit window. qualifier.

Motivation

Some global variables in browser are likely to be used by people without the intent of using them as globals, such as status, name, event, etc.

For example:

handleClick() { // missing `event` argument
  this.setState({
      text: event.target.value // uses the `event` global: oops!
  });
}

This package exports a list of globals that are often used by mistake. You can feed this list to a static analysis tool like ESLint to prevent their usage without an explicit window. qualifier.

Installation

npm install --save confusing-browser-globals

Usage

If you use Create React App, you don't need to configure anything, as this rule is already included in the default eslint-config-react-app preset.

If you maintain your own ESLint configuration, you can do this:

var restrictedGlobals = require('confusing-browser-globals');

module.exports = {
  rules: {
    'no-restricted-globals': ['error'].concat(restrictedGlobals),
  }
};
