# `is-node-process`

Reliably determines if the code is running in Node.js

## Motivation

This library was created to provide a reliable way of determining a Node.js process, taking into account:

- Browser-like environments (JSDOM);
- Electron renderer process;
- React Native runtime.

### Why relying on `window` is a bad idea

There are environments (i.e. JSDOM) that polyfill the global `window` object and some of its API for the sake of emulating browser-like behaviors, while still remaining a Node.js process.

### Why relying on `process` is a bad idea

Electron injects a global `process` object in the browser runtime when run with the `nodeIntegration: true` option.

## Getting started

```sh
$ npm install is-node-process
# or
$ yarn add is-node-process
```

```js
// any/code.js
const { isNodeProcess } = require('is-node-process')
isNodeProcess() // true/false
```
