Initializing a variable in script at .php page and not getting it in .js file

Question

In my .php page at bottom

(function ($) {
    $(document).ready(function () {
        var Atest = 'Hi';

        $.getScript(app_consts.VIEW_JS + 'something.js');
    });
})(jQuery);

In the something.js file I have writen

(function ($) {
    $(document).ready(function () {
        console.log(Atest);
    });
})(jQuery);

And in the console value is not printed. I don't know how to get that.

When you use [$.getScript](https://api.jquery.com/jquery.getscript/) the script is executed in the global context. So your code in `something.js` can't access the local variable `test`. — Roland Starke, Dec 09 '16 at 12:01

Change scope of variable like..

<script type="text/javascript">
    var Atest = 'Hi';

    (function ($) {
    $(document).ready(function () {
        //var Atest = 'Hi';

        $.getScript(app_consts.VIEW_JS + 'something.js');
    });
    })(jQuery);
</script>
