# Global [![NPM version][npm-image]][npm-url] [![Build Status][test-image]][test-url] [![Coverage Status][coverage-image]][coverage-url] > Return the global object.
## Installation ```bash npm install @stdlib/utils-global ```
## Usage ```javascript var getGlobal = require( '@stdlib/utils-global' ); ``` #### getGlobal( \[codegen] ) Returns the global object. ```javascript var g = getGlobal(); // returns {...} ``` By default, the function does **not** use code generation when resolving the global object. While code generation is the **most** reliable means for resolving the global object, its use may violate [content security policies][mdn-csp] (CSPs). To use code generation, provide a `codegen` argument equal to `true`. ```javascript var g = getGlobal( true ); // returns {...} ```
## Examples ```javascript var getGlobal = require( '@stdlib/utils-global' ); // Resolve the global object: var g = getGlobal(); // Display the object's contents: console.log( g ); ```
