大型骨干网/ RequireJS应用程序上的全球资源共享

Question

I am building my first large Backbone + Requiere APP and i came across a scenarios where it would just make sense to access some kind of an "app wide" scope. I was thinking of making a new namespace in the global scope, something like:

window.APP = {
  someProp : someValue,
  ....
}

Are there any other options / good practices ?

Thanks

I always try to avoid global scoping when working with require.js, better is to avoid it.

A solution is to create a config.js file:

#config.js

define([], function() {
    return {
        someProp : someValue
    }
})

Then when you need to access those values in another module, you can do:

#foo-module.js

require(['config', 'backbone', 'underscore'], function(config, Backbone, _) {
    console.log(config.someProp)
})
