Using browsers navigator results in JShint error

I'm using the globally available navigator object that the browser exposes in an Ember-CLI project (aka, with ES6 syntax) and I'd like to avoid getting errors when referencing this valid global object.

I saw this suggestion: Ember CLI - Error when using moment.js in route and tried added ['navigator'] to the predef definition in the .jshintrc file. Didn't seem to have any impact. I also then put the following into the JS file itself:

/* global navigator: false */

That worked but I still feel the .jshintrc alternative would be nice. Is there a way to achieve this? Why didn't my attempt have the desired results in the same way that the momentjs example did?

BTW, here is the default setting that Ember-CLI puts in:

"predef": [
    "document",
    "window",
    "-Promise"
]

The existing answer isn't wrong, exactly, but it does have the wrong format, and doesn't make clear that there is a seperate .jshintrc file for tests. In my case, this was the one that needed to be updated.

In tests/.jshintrc (which is different from the main .jshintrc) add "navigator" to the "predef" array, like so:

{
  "predef": [
    "document",
    "window",
    "navigator",
    "location",
    ...
  ]
}

In .jshintrc file, you should do it that way:

{
  "predef": {
    "navigator": true
  }
}

Hope this helps! :)
