Globals

Aurelia evaluates template expressions in a safe way and does not allow expressions to access global variables freely. For example, doing window.alert() or alert() in any expression will not evaluate the alert function on the window object. Though many globals are often used, which will make it awkward if there is not a way to access them directly. JSON is an example, it's quite commonly used in many places including both application functionalities and debugging.
To reduce boilerplate, Aurelia allows template expression to access to a fixed list of global variables that are usually needed. Those globals are as followings:
Infinity
NaN
isFinite
isNaN
parseFloat
parseInt
decodeURI
decodeURIComponent
encodeURI
encodeURIComponent
Array
BigInt
Boolean
Date
Map
Number
Object
RegExp
Set
String
JSON
Math
Intl
