For the moment I have found one can "hack" it using something like:

  const Storage = require("dom-storage");
  global.WebSocket = require("uws");
  global.window = global;
  global.localStorage = new Storage(null, { strict: true });

But it has many problems, like populating the global namespace.
If this is still not good enough, one may prefer to create colyseus.js/server and use that inside node. I don't believe it should be required a new package to make a node integration, mostly because a lot of the code should be the same.

Thanks for sharing, @holywyvern!

This is not as bad as I thought it would be. You'll want to use this just for testing purposes, right?

The JavaScript client already does a couple of checks to support multiple client-side environments, such as React Native and Cocos Creator.

I'm not sure it's possible to have optional dependencies just for the Node.js environment. It wouldn't be feasible to have dom-storage and uws as dependencies for the client-side.

Let me know if you have any ideas. Cheers!
