This package exports a function that, when called, will tell you if your execution environment is browser-like (e.g. Chrome or Firefox) or server-like (e.g. Node). Useful for Next.js and other fullstack/isomorphic apps.
This package includes TypeScript types and provides:
npm install is-server-side
import { isServer } from 'is-server-side'
isServer() && doServerStuff();
doOtherStuff();
Issues and pull requests are welcome! In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style.
