'Use Strict' -- Feeling Trendy

[StephenHey]

So I was feeling trendy and started writing script includes using 'use strict' at the start of all my functions.   'use strict' apparently works great because it tells me things like "GlideRecord" and "gs" are not defined.

However, when I use the script include, everything works because ServiceNow is declaring GlideRecord somewhere outside my script include (like it always does).   Is there a way to edit the script editor to tell it what function declarations to ignore?

In Istanbul, I get those errors if I use 'use strict' outside of function scopes:

'use strict';
var TaskTopTask = Class.create();
...

But if I use it within functions, I get no complaints.   I usually use a pattern like this to hide and hoist.   If you use the standard ServiceNow pattern, you might need to specify 'use strict' in each function scope.

var TaskTopTask = Class.create();
(function staticScope(ttt) {
       'use strict';

       ttt.prototype = (function prototypeScope(p) {
               p.type = 'TaskTopTask';

               p.initialize = function instanceScope(task) {
                       copyToTaskTop();   // Hoisted function

                       this.copyToTaskTop = copyToTaskTop; // non-private function
                       function copyToTaskTop() {
                               var task.isUsableHere();
                       };
               }; // End instanceScope

               return p;
       })({}); // End prototypeScope

       var ENUM = (ttt.ENUM = {
             ONE: 1,
             TWO: 2,
       });

})(TaskTopTask); // End staticScope
