JavaScript对象中间的美元符号

Question

I like to think I know JavaScript okay, but I've recently seen something interesting in one of the codebases I had access to (for a very limited time). I saw a JavaScript object with a name that looked similar to this:

Variable$Name$Example$Here = ...

In fact, I'm not even sure if that's a variable per-se, or a different type of JavaScript object (ie a primitive or not). Now I know that $ is usually used to denote an instance of a jQuery, but I haven't seen it in the middle of the object name.

Did they simply name it that way? Is there simply somewhere eg

var Variable$Name$Example$Here = true;

... or am I completely missing something here?

Answer 1

Yes. It is simply the name of the variable. $ is a valid character for a variable name.
