` js`
var detect = require('lexical-scope')
Return a scope structure from a javascript source string src.
scope.locals maps scope name keys to an array of local variable names declaredvar
with . The key name '' refers to the top-level scope.
scope.globals.implicit contains the global variable names that are expected to
already exist in the environment by the script.
scope.globals.explicit contains the global variable names that are exported by
the script.
scope.globals.implicitProperties contains the properties of global variable
names that have been used. There are two special implicit property names:
* "()" - when an implicit variable has been called""
- when an implicit variable has been used in a context that is not a
property and not a call
