# 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:
```js
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
```sh
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:
```js
const restrictedGlobals = require('confusing-browser-globals');
module.exports = {
rules: {
'no-restricted-globals': ['error'].concat(restrictedGlobals),
},
};
```
