Possible to define globals?

[mrkurt]

I'm using some external libraries that expect certain globals (related to #2108). Can I define new globals in my main somehow?

Either reference globalThis or window, or indirect eval to access the global scope. To define additional globals in TypeScript you have to utilise the global namespace to add the types, for example:

declare global {
  something: string;
}

Ah globalThis did it! Thanks.

@mrkurt do you have a patch for exposing Request/Response? I spent a moment trying to to expose these but got hung up...

[mrkurt]

@ry I don't! I also looked for a bit, and realized there's more missing than I thought. I'm working on running the ones we use for fly.io to see how they are, it's possible they'd be good options to include in deno — although your FormData is better:
