### isBrowser
|
||||
|
||||
Determines if the current runtime environment is a browser so that front-end modules can run on the server (Node)
|
||||
without throwing errors.
|
||||
|
||||
Use `Array.includes()` on the `typeof` values of both `window` and `document` (globals usually only available in a
|
||||
browser environment unless they were explicitly defined), which will return `true` if one of them is `undefined`.
|
||||
`typeof` allows globals to be checked for existence without throwing a ReferenceError.
|
||||
|
||||
If both of them are not `undefined`, then the current environment is assumed to be a browser.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const isBrowser = () => ![typeof window, typeof document].includes('undefined')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
isBrowser() // true (browser)
|
||||
isBrowser() // false (Node)
|
||||
```
