There are similar questions with this same error message, but every one I found is a runtime error. For me, globalThis
does exist at runtime, but ESLint reports that it does not. How do I tell ESLint that globalThis
exists?
Note: I created this to answer it myself. I thought it should be documented outside of an obscure github issue.
@mdjermanovic documented the fix here:
globalThis
is already supported. Since it's an ES2020 feature, you'll need to enablees2020
(or higher) environment in your configuration.{ "env": { "es2020": true } }
Here's online demo with
es2020
andno-undef
enabled.Originally posted by @mdjermanovic in https://github.com/eslint/eslint/issues/15199#issuecomment-948724014
Note that you can find older answers that suggest adding globalThis
as an eslint "global" config, but the above solution is a more modern approach.
