If I write:
myVar = 123; // note the missing var keyword
is there an object in NodeJs where I can retrieve this variable from?
In a browser this would be:
window.myVar

Why do you want to do use global variables? I assume you have a reason, but it's worth discussing for the benefit of future traffic to this page. – Richard Marr Oct 11 '13 at 17:25

I want to test if the Jade template engine is leaking global variables when writing `- myVar = 123` in a template ;) – Gabriel Petrovay Oct 11 '13 at 17:29

Node's globals are stored in the global variable and is documented here. Since "global" variables are local to each module, global is the true global variable that is shared across modules.
