How to access a variable declared in yepnope.js from loaded JavaScript file?

Question

I have a yepnope.js file which loads several other JavaScript files.

In yepnope.js I have a variable called applicationVersion, which I append to the end of load url like this: load: 'fileToLoad.js?v=' + applicationVersion to enable cache busting!

Now I need to be able to access this applicationVersion from fileToLoad.js to enable cache busting for other functions within fileToLoad.js. Can I just access the variable from fileToLoad.js like the following?

//in fileToLoad.js
var ajaxUrl = '/json/messages?v=' + applicationVersion;

Or do I need other mechanisms to somehow pass the variable down from yepnope.js to fileToLoad.js?

I am not in an environment where I can test this out.

Answer 1

You can pass the applicationVersion with using a namespacing a variable.Hope this following snippet will help

Assuming this is your yepnope.js

var myYepnope = myYepnope || {} //Defining namespace;
    myYepnope.applicationVersion:"someVesrion";
    myYepnope.loader =function(){
      // code related to yepnope file loader
    }
    myYepnome.loader() // to execute the function 

Now applicationVersion will be accessible from fileToLoad.js by calling myYepnope.applicationVersion

A change in value of myYepnope.applicationVersion will be reflected everywhere
