Version for node?

[mitra42]

I'm trying to add CustomEvent so that a library I've built will work in both browser and Node. Your code looks like its what is needed EXCEPT it calls document.createEventObject, and in node there is document.createEvent, but not document.createEventObject.

Do you know of a version of custom-event that works in Node? Or is there a way to add that functionality.

A bit of digging and I've found a solution for myself which is to define "document" before requiring custom-event, however this breaks the common practice of requiring everything at the top of the file BEFORE creating anything.

I could also get it to work by replacing the line

('undefined' !== typeof document && 'function' === typeof document.createEvent) ? function CustomEvent (type, params) {

with

('undefined' === typeof document || 'function' === typeof document.createEvent) ? function CustomEvent (type, params) {

Since the IE9 version is fine for node, and document will have been defined before CustomEvent gets called.

That might be a good alternative ?
