PHP variable inside a js file [duplicate]

Answer 1

This is a problem I face often when dealing with js vs php. As my JS applications become more complex there is more and more a desire to keep all my JS in library files and keep my php as clean as possible. One solution I have started using is to do the following:

js file:

myNamespace.bootstrap = function( payload ){
  ... 
  // internally boot up all the modules that need 
  // the data, passing it where relavent
  module.load( payload );
}

php file:

  ...
  

This gives you one data injection point for all your scripts with one line of js in your actual php. Should allow you to easy manage data dependencies in your javascript since you can namespace them in php.
