Detect-Is-On-Glitch

Creative name, right?

Well, in my defense, this is a very simple package. It simply tells you whether or not your code is executing inside of the Glitch environment.

Using

Options:

  • Call via CLI
    • detect-is-on-glitch or isglitch
      • isglitch && echo "Running on Glitch"
    • You can use the -i or --invert flag to get !result, like so:
      • isglitch -i && echo "Not running on Glitch"
  • Pull in to front-end
    <script src="node_modules/detect-is-on-glitch/dist/browser/glitch-detect.min.js"></script>
    <script>
    detectIsOnGlitch().then((res) => {
    	alert(`You are ${res ? '' : 'not '}on Glitch`);
    });
    </script>
  • Backend / NodeJS
    const getIsOnGlitch = require('detect-is-on-glitch');
    
    getIsOnGlitch().then((isOnGlitch) => {
    	if (isOnGlitch) {
    		console.log('is on glitch!');
    	} else {
    		console.log('somewhere else!');
    	}
    });

Building

yarn build

Detection method

Right now, the detection method is extremely simple:

  • Browser / client: Checks if the current URL belongs to Glitch, or a subdomain
  • Server side: Checks for some env / process.env.* environmental variables that are injected by Glitch
    • For example, GLITCH_SHARED_INCLUDES_LEGACY_CLS
