get
Gets the value of a global variable.
Methods get(key)
get(key)
Purpose: This method is used to retrieve the value of a global variable stored in the Node.js global object. It allows you to access data that has been set globally from anywhere in your application.
Parameters:
key
(string): The name of the global variable you want to retrieve. This should match the key used when the variable was set.
Returns: The value of the global variable if it exists, otherwise undefined
.
Usage Example:
const globalManager = require('global-manager');
// Set a global variable
globalManager.set('appName', 'MyApp');
// Retrieve and print the global variable
const appName = globalManager.get('appName');
console.log(appName); // Output: MyApp
Detailed Explanation: The get
method looks up the specified key in the global object and returns its corresponding value. If the key does not exist, the method returns undefined
. This method is essential for accessing global variables without needing to pass them explicitly between different parts of your application.
Notes:
Ensure that the key provided matches exactly (including case sensitivity) with the key used when the variable was set.
If you get
undefined
as a result, it could mean the variable was never set or it was deleted.
