Question

As the title says, I have a few javascript files. There are sections that call a few websites. I want to be able to store the websites in a different file, this way if the website changes we just need to make one change and not many.

Any suggestions?

I tried doing something like

/**
 * Returns URLs
 */
var URLCONTEXT = "/root-url/context/";
var URLROOT = "/root-url/";

function getContextUrl(){
    return URLCONTEXT;
}

function getRootUrl(){
    return URLROOT;
}

but this doesn’t have a way to communicate with the other JS files =/

Answer 1

Include your url constants in a js file like

url-constants.js

var URLCONTEXT = "/root-url/context/";
var URLROOT = "/root-url/";

and reference this js file first before other js files.

and you will be able to use url-constants variable in any other js file.

other.js

function getContextUrl(){
    return URLCONTEXT;
}

function getRootUrl(){
    return URLROOT;
}

include these in your page like

<script language="text/javascript" src="url-constants.js"></script>
<script language="text/javascript" src="other.js"></script>
