Question

I have a js file that is simply just using the dojo provide statement to give the namespace for an object.
Its a simple settings file that will be referenced for settings throughout the application.
So Instead of creating a class (module) specifically for these properties I thought I would just give it a name space and reference that in my app js file.

Here is what I have

dojo.provide('app');

dojo.require('settings');

dojo.ready(function(){
    console.log("settings = ", settings.obj.prop1);

});

Then in my settings.js

dojo.provide('settings');

var obj = {
    prop1:'property 1',
    prop2:'http://fdsfsdfs'
}


console.log("settings module loaded");

When I use required in my app.js it shows me the settings.js has loaded as the console trace shows me its loaded.
But when I try to do a trace on the obj that is inside of settings its saying undefined.

You are defining a global variable obj. You should define inside settings, where you want it

settings.obj = { ... };

instead of

var obj = { ... }
