Platform Info

This module provides a way to detect the current platform where the script is running. It defines a constant platformInfo which holds the information about the current platform.

PlatformInfo Object

The platformInfo constant object has the following properties:

• name: The name of the current platform. It can be 'browser', 'node', 'semi-node', or 'unknown'.
• development: A boolean indicating whether the NODE_ENV environment variable is not set to production or in browser location.hostname is localhost or 127.xxx.
• isNode: A boolean indicating whether the current platform is node.js.
• isBrowser: A boolean indicating whether the current platform is a browser.
• isWebWorker: A boolean indicating whether the current platform is a web worker.
• isDeno: A boolean indicating whether the current platform is Deno.
• isNw: A boolean indicating whether the current platform is nw.js.
• isElectron: A boolean indicating whether the current platform is Electron.

Development Mode Detection

The code also checks whether the script is running in development mode. If the script is running in a browser, it checks if the hostname is 'localhost' or 127.xxx. If the script is running in a 'semi-node' environment, it checks if the NODE_ENV environment variable is not set to 'production'. The result is stored in the development property of the platformInfo object.

Installation

yarn add @alwatr/platform-info

import {platformInfo} from '@alwatr/platform-info';

console.log(platformInfo.name); // 'browser' | 'node' | 'semi-node' | 'unknown'
console.log(platformInfo.development); // true | false
console.log(platformInfo.isNode); // true | false
console.log(platformInfo.isBrowser); // true | false
