<div class="sample-test"><i>nightwatch.conf.js</i>

<pre data-language="javascript"><code class="language-javascript">{
"src_folders": [],
<pre data-language="javascript"><code class="language-javascript">
myGlobal = 3000;
myGlobal2 = 'hello world';

"globals": {
"myGlobalVar" : "some value",
"otherGlobal" : "some other value"
},
// Refer to the online docs for more details:
// https://nightwatchjs.org/gettingstarted/configuration/
//

"test_settings": {
"default": {
"launch_url": "https://nightwatchjs.org",
}
}
}</code></pre>

</code></pre>

</div>
Note how the variables can be defined at the top of the config file.

Like the `launch_url` property, the `globals` object is made available directly on the Nightwatch api which is passed to the tests.
