### isBrowser
Determines if the current runtime environment is a browser so that front-end modules can run on the server (Node)
without throwing errors.
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.
