+# confusing-browser-globals
+
+A curated list of browser globals that commonly cause confusion and are not recommended to use without an explicit `window.` qualifier.
+
+## Motivation
+
+Some global variables in browser are likely to be used by people without the intent of using them as globals, such as `status`, `name`, `event`, etc.
+
+For example:
+
+```js
+handleClick() { // missing `event` argument
+  this.setState({
+  	text: event.target.value // uses the `event` global: oops!
+  });
+}
+```
+
+This package exports a list of globals that are often used by mistake. You can feed this list to a static analysis tool like ESLint to prevent their usage without an explicit `window.` qualifier.
+
+
+## Installation
+
+```
+npm install --save confusing-browser-globals
+```
+
+
+## Usage
+
+If you use Create React App, you don't need to configure anything, as this rule is already included in the default `eslint-config-react-app` preset.
+
+If you maintain your own ESLint configuration, you can do this:
+
+```js
+var restrictedGlobals = require('confusing-browser-globals');
+
+module.exports = {
+  rules: {
+    'no-restricted-globals': ['error'].concat(restrictedGlobals),
+  }
+};
+```
