description: "Disallow specific global variables.",
rationale: Lint.Utils.dedent`
\`\`\`ts
function broken(evt: Event) {
// Meant to do something with \`evt\` but typed it incorrectly.
Event.target; // compiler error
event.target; // should be a lint failure
}

Early Internet Explorer versions exposed the current DOM event as a global variable 'event',
but using this variable has been considered a bad practice for a long time.
Restricting this will make sure this variable isn’t used in browser code.
\`\`\`

descriptionDetails: Lint.Utils.dedent`
Disallowing usage of specific global variables can be useful if you want to allow
a set of global variables by enabling an environment, but still want to disallow
some of those.
`,
optionsDescription: Lint.Utils.dedent`
This rule takes a list of strings, where each string is a global to be restricted.
\`event\`, \`name\` and \`length\` are restricted by default.

This errors too often if the declaration comes from a declaration file that is not lib.dom.d.ts. Consider the case of adone's types in Definitely Typed:

// @Filename: adone-tests.ts
namespace eventsTests {
    namespace EventEmitter {
        namespace static {
            const a: number = adone.event.Emitter.listenerCount(new adone.event.Emitter(), "event");
            const b: number = adone.event.Emitter.defaultMaxListeners;
        }
// @Filename: events.d.ts
declare namespace adone {
    namespace event {
        class Emitter {
            static listenerCount(emitter: Emitter, event: string | symbol): number;
            static defaultMaxListeners: number;
            // ...

You will get bogus errors on event.


if (isAmbientGlobal) {
ctx.addFailureAtNode(node, Rule.FAILURE_STRING(node.text));
}
}
