Karma Host Environment

[**Host Environment**](https://jstools.dev/host-environment/) is a library that makes it easy to detect whether your code is running in Node.js or a web browser, Windows or Mac, Internet Explorer or Chrome, etc.
**Karma Host Environment** is a companion to Host Environment, specifically for the [Karma test runner](https://karma-runner.github.io/3.0/index.html). It allows you to detect not only the browser that your tests are running in, but also information about the host server, such as the operating system, Node.js version, and even environment variables.
Example
--------------------------
```javascript
import host from "@jsdevtools/host-environment";
if (host.ci) {
// Setup CI/CD test fixtures
}
if (host.browser) {
// Test browser behavior
if (host.browser.IE) {
// Test Internet Explorer-specific behavior
}
}
if (host.node) {
// Test Node.js behavior
if (host.node.version < 8) {
// Different logic for older versions of Node
}
if (host.os.windows) {
// Test Windows-specific behavior
}
}
```

Installation
--------------------------
Use [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/about-npm/) or [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com) to install `@jsdevtools/host-environment` **and** `@jsdevtools/karma-host-environment` as development dependencies:
```bash
npm install --save-dev @jsdevtools/host-environment @jsdevtools/karma-host-environment
```
Usage
--------------------------
[Configure Karma](https://karma-runner.github.io/1.0/config/configuration-file.html) to use the `host-environment` framework plug-in:
**karma.conf.js**
```javascript
module.exports = function(config) {
config.set({
frameworks: ["host-environment"],
...
});
};
```
API
--------------------------
Import [host-environment](https://jstools.dev/host-environment/) as you normally would:
```javascript
import host from "@jsdevtools/host-environment";
```
### The `host` object
You can use [all of the `host` properties](https://jstools.dev/host-environment/#api) as usual:
- [`host.global`](https://github.com/JS-DevTools/host-environment#hostglobal)
- [`host.os`](https://github.com/JS-DevTools/host-environment#hostos)
- [`host.env`](https://github.com/JS-DevTools/host-environment#hostenv)
- [`host.node`](https://github.com/JS-DevTools/host-environment#hostnode)
- [`host.browser`](https://github.com/JS-DevTools/host-environment#hostbrowser)
### The `host.env` property
Normally the `host.env` property would be an empty object when running in a web browser, since web browsers don't have access to environment variables. But Karma Host Environment exposes the host server's environment variables, so you can use `host.env` just as you would if you were running in Node.js:
```javascript
if (host.env.QUICK_TEST) {
// Skip long-running tests
}
```
### The `host.karma` property
In addition to all the usual `host` properties, Karma Host Environment adds an additional `host.karma` property. This object exposes all the `host` properties of the Karma server itself, such as the operating system, Node.js version, environmenv variables, etc.
```javascript
if (host.karma) {
// We're running in Karma
if (host.karma.node.version > 10) {
// The server is running in Node v10+
}
if (host.karma.os.windows) {
// The server is a Windows OS
}
}
```
