CRA - Browser error - Cannot assign to read only property 'window' of object
I am trying to use IndexedDbShim with a react application. I am using create-react-app and this is the main app index.js file that runs before everything else:
import '@babel/polyfill';
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { toJS } from 'mobx';
import AsyncLoad from './common/components/AsyncComponent';
import { setGlobalVars } from 'indexeddbshim';
global.window = global; // We'll allow ourselves to use `window.indexedDB` or `indexedDB` as a global
setGlobalVars(); // See signature below
...
// unrelated code continues here
I am getting the following error in the console:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot assign to read only property 'window' of object '#'
at Object. (index.js:10)
at Object../src/index.js (index.js:35)
at webpack_require (bootstrap 8babaf20081f9cc7653e:698)
at fn (bootstrap 8babaf20081f9cc7653e:111)
at Object.0 (index.js:35)
at webpack_require (bootstrap 8babaf20081f9cc7653e:698)
at bootstrap 8babaf20081f9cc7653e:796
at bootstrap 8babaf20081f9cc7653e:796
Is there a known workaround for setting global window variables (IndexedDBShim seems to require it) using webpack? Setting it using the browser console seems to work as expected.
