[removed] final / immutable global variables?

Question

I think I know the answer but... is there any way to prevent a global variable from being modified by later-executing

Answer 1

Instead of declaring all such variables in the global scope, you could have one global object wrapping around those variables. Using Object.defineProperty() and/or Object.defineProperties() with the writable flag set to false, you can have an immutable variable.

var myObj = {};

Object.defineProperty(myObj, 'myVar', {
    value: someValue,
    writable: false
});

Or you could just use the const keyword

const MY_VAR = 10;
