Enforce either `crypto` or `require("crypto").webcrypto` (`n/prefer-global/crypto`)

An implementation of the Web Crypto API is defined as a global variable.

console.log(crypto === require("node:crypto").webcrypto) //→ true

It will be readable if we use crypto consistently.

📖 Rule Details

This rule enforces whether to use the global crypto variable or the webcrypto property from the crypto module.

This rule has a string option.

{
    "n/prefer-global/crypto": ["error", "always" | "never"]
}

"always" (default) ... enforces to use the global variable crypto rather than require("crypto").webcrypto.
"never" ... enforces to use require("crypto").webcrypto rather than the global variable crypto.
