global-object-guard lets you control and Manage Global Object

global-object-guard is a utility module which provides straight-forward, powerful functions for working with global objects in JavaScript. It designed for use with Node.js, it can not used in the browser.

global-object-guard provides around 4 functions that include the usual 'functional' suspects (Create, getDifference, rePositionGlobalObject, refreshGlobalObject). All these functions assume you follow the Node.js convention. This will help the developer to track their global object in node and allow them to check the status of the global object and also helps them to clean the global object.

Quick Example

// Require this Package
var GlobalObjectGuard = require('global-object-guard');

//My All Global Object Settings
_appSetting = {
    PORT: 2000,
    HOST: "http://localhost"
};

_otherServerSetting = {
    //So on...
};
//--------------------------------------------

// Just Apply GlobalObjectGuard
var gb = GlobalObjectGuard.Create(global);

// Do your code .......

// Some time Mistake get happen
obj = {name: "Kashish", age: 24};

// Don't worry just check the Global Pollution if you want.
var result = gb.getDifference();
console.log("Checking Global Object Pollution: ", result);
// Output: Checking Global Object Pollution:  { obj: [ { name: 'Kashish', age: 24 } ] }

// You can RePosition Your Global Object State
// This will Set Your Current Global State as a default State
// (NOTE: ALL THE GLOBAL POLLUTION BECOME THE PART OF GLOBAL OBJECT)
gb.rePositionGlobalObject(global);

// Recheck the Status
result = gb.getDifference();
console.log("After RePosition the Global Object: " + JSON.stringify(result));
// Output: After RePosition the Global Object: {}

// Lets do some mistake
(function () {
    person = {address: "B4-90 US"}
})();

result = gb.getDifference();
console.log("Opes Just hit the global object: " + JSON.stringify(result));
// Output: Opes Just hit the global object: {"person":[{"address":"B4-90 US"}]}

// Let this GlobalObjectGuard take care this cleaning work.
gb.refreshGlobalObject();

// Check the status. Every Thing is Clean Now.
result = gb.getDifference();
console.log("Everything is clean by GlobalObjectGuard: " + JSON.stringify(result));
// Output: Everything is clean by GlobalObjectGuard: {}
