[Feature] don't use global dom types

[DetachHead]

the problem

i want to be able to use the dom types that playwright uses without incorrectly making globals like window available in the nodejs runtime.

import { chromium } from 'playwright';

(async () => {
    window // undefined in nodejs
    await chromium.launch()
})()

the two options

1. dom types disabled

if i disable dom types by setting the lib property in tsconfig.json, i correctly get a compile error:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "lib": ["es2021"]
    }
}

asdf.ts:4:5 - error TS2304: Cannot find name 'window'.

4     window
      ~~~~~~

but i also get hundreds of other compile errors because playwright relies on these globally defined dom types:

node_modules/playwright-core/types/structs.d.ts:43:40 - error TS2304: Cannot find name 'Node'.

43 export type SmartHandle<T> = T extends Node ? ElementHandle<T> : JSHandle<T>;
                                          ~~~~

node_modules/playwright-core/types/structs.d.ts:44:49 - error TS2304: Cannot find name 'HTMLElementTagNameMap'.

44 export type ElementHandleForTag<K extends keyof HTMLElementTagNameMap> = ElementHandle<HTMLElementTagNameMap[K]>;
                                                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

node_modules/playwright-core/types/structs.d.ts:44:88 - error TS2304: Cannot find name 'HTMLElementTagNameMap'.

44 export type ElementHandleForTag<K extends keyof HTMLElementTagNameMap> = ElementHandle<HTMLElementTagNameMap[K]>;    

Found 132 errors in 3 files.

2. dom types enabled

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "lib": ["es2021", "dom"]
    }
}

when enabling the dom types, there are no compile errors, even though the window object does not exist at runtime in nodejs

possible solution

perhaps a version of the dom types that are not defined globally? maybe this is a broader issue and could be raised on typescript?

Yeah looks like we can't do much here, try asking @ typescript about this!
