Usage

// import the desired methods

const deno = isDeno();

// test for node
const node = isNodeJS();

// test for browser
const browser = isBrowser();

// The main advantage is to import modules needed for a specific platform at runtime, think importing `fs` for node
// at runtime but still being able to compile for all platforms.
let fs;
if (node) {
    fs = await loadModule('fs');
} else if (deno) {
    fs = await loadModule('https://deno.land/std/fs/mod.ts');
} else {
    fs = await loadModule('https://unpkg.com/browserfs');
}
