Are there any security issuses or something with using global variables and assignig modules to global variables in nodejs?
example:
client = new Client();
Without the var statement, so i can use it everywhere?
It’s not that it’s a security problem, it’s considered bad practice though and it can lead to other problems such as trying to override a Node.js global variable.
Try not to pollute the global namespace and if you really really need global variables, just use one with sub-objects.
