• 5def2f3aaff09e000025a837 is a style that puts “code to expose the subject” in one place
  • Look at the target file, check “this is it”, EXPORT, and then edit another file.
• Conversely, you can prepare a “function that takes an argument and exposes it” and call it near each target you want to expose.
• Which is better.
• Is it easier to manage if they are all in one place?
  • And the code to expose variables is scattered after all…
    • There is also a way to create a variable in the module scope first and export it, even if the code exposes a local variable.
• Is it better to have a “function that takes an argument and exposes it”, so that the intent is clearer than a simple assignment?
• I made it up as I went along. ts

export const makeGlobal = (name: string, obj: any) => {
  // @ts-ignore
  window.debug[name] = obj;
}

• But this may not be a good idea, because if the code is not used for anything other than exposing the target, it will be considered an unused module.
• Also errors such as ReferenceError: Cannot access 'makeGlobal' before initialization.
• I decided not to go deeper this time.
