What does this module do?

See original GitHub issue

Forgive me for a potentially elementary question, but I saw this module in use in the wild and couldn’t figure out what it was for other than to satisfy linting errors. Coming upon the README didn’t offer much more on the subject, so I thought I’d ask. And suggest perhaps putting the “why” in the README?

Oh wow, I’ve been using jsdom-global for that. This sounds much simpler! Thanks for the explanation. Do you think it’s worth adding a note similar to your response to the readme? Or do most others get it?

I think this module is only for exposing browser globals that can be “mocked” in node. A library can import this library so that the library can be tested in both a browser and nodejs and phantomjs, etc.
