In Java if I wanna call a var from another file in the same folder I can just call the file name and then the var I wanna call. But, I'm looking for a similar thing in Javascript. Please let me know if there is. For Example:
FileName: wordBank.java
int wordCount = 0;
Then in the Other File I can call that wordCount by saying:
wordBank.wordCount = 1; // (assuming wordCount is public)
So is there a way to mimic this code in Javascript?
You have to explicitly export and import it like so with es6 wordBank.js:
export const wordCount = 0;
otherFile.js:
import { wordCount } from "./wordBank"
console.log(wordCount)
However, there is no specific way to outright mutate a variable passes between files. You could do something like this:
let wordCount = 0;
export function setWordCount(value) {
wordCount = value
}
then in the other file:
import { setWordCount } from "./wordBank"
setWordCount(1)
