Guide

Throwing

If plat cannot determine the platform being used it will throw an error to let you know. At this point you should investigate why or create an issue/pull-request to justify and support your use-case/platform. The point is that plat will protect your code from executing in ambiguous execution contexts wherein e.g. you think you're in the server but not, etc.

Supported Platforms

Currently supported:

  • Browsers
  • NodeJS

More platform support is welcome by those that know how to unambiguously test for such contexts.
