Can't resolve 'global/window' (webpack)

ERROR in ./node_modules/my-module/index.js 2:28-34
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'global/window' in './node_modules/my-module'
Did you mean 'window.js'?
BREAKING CHANGE: The request 'global/window' failed to resolve only because it was resolved as fully specified
(probably because the origin is a '*.mjs' file or a '*.js' file where the package.json contains '"type": "module"').
The extension in the request is mandatory for it to be fully specified.
Add the extension to the request.

This appears to be because global/window is not a valid identifier in ES modules so every single example on the web fails:

    new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
      window: "global/window",
      document: "global/document",
    }),

Thankfully in this case the solution was:

    new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
      window: "global/window.js",
      document: "global/document.js",
    }),

This might be fixable with export maps in package.json, but I'm not entirely sure.

ts-jest doesn't work with this package.

I can't provide a lot more context than the title, but trying to use this along with ts-jest is failing for likely obvious reasons.

Is there any typescript declaration for this?

What does this module do?

Forgive me for a potentially elementary question, but I saw this module in use in the wild and couldn't figure out what it was for other than to satisfy linting errors. Coming upon the README didn't offer much more on the subject, so I thought I'd ask. And suggest perhaps putting the "why" in the README?

shoutouts to everyone that installs this by mistake

npm install global <package you were trying to install>? hell yeah baby

'default' is not exported by 'node_modules/global/document.js'

Seeing this error when using rollup as a bundler. Any ideas what this could be?

~/c/videomail-client ❯❯❯ yarn test
yarn test v0.24.5
$ rollup -c etc/rollup/test.js && cat test/dist/index.js | tape-run 
100% (80): src/wrappers/visuals/replay.js⚠️   'default' is not exported by 'node_modules/global/document.js'

Documentation

Where is the documentation of this package?

Publish 4.3.1

Thank you kindly :)

Ok, I can't be the first to say this...

I ran: 'yarn add [the module I wanted to add globally] global' about 20 times before I realized that it was adding my module (locally) and this module. :/
