Question 299885 in Javascript Question posted in
A very good W3school tutorial can be found here.

Javascript – ESLint: 'globalThis' is not defined

There are similar questions with this same error message, but every one I found is a runtime error. For me, globalThis does exist at runtime, but ESLint reports that it does not. How do I tell ESLint that globalThis exists?

Note: I created this to answer it myself. I thought it should be documented outside of an obscure github issue.

    @mdjermanovic documented the fix here:

    globalThis is already supported. Since it's an ES2020 feature, you'll need to enable es2020 (or higher) environment in your configuration.

    {
    "env": {
        "es2020": true
    }
}

    Here's online demo with es2020 and no-undef enabled.

    Note that you can find older answers that suggest adding globalThis as an eslint "global" config, but the above solution is more modern.

    You can also tell ESLint that globalThis exists.

    Specify it in the ESLint configuration file by adding globalThis to the globals section.

    {
   "globals": {
       "globalThis": "readonly"
   }
}
