remove var from global scope

Question

In this example I have two action :

1. when you add quantity of users - it will be automatically calculated by a price in the input with total sum

2. when you already add the quantity of users > total sum is calculated > if you click on EUR - in input with total sum, the sum will be translated to euro.

So, every thing work fine - but I don't like that the "usesQuantity" has the global scope! Any ideas how make it local and save the working version http://jsfiddle.net/gb2447jd/5/

tried something like:

$('#user-quantity').keyup(function(){
    var userQuantity = parseInt($(this).val());
    if( userQuantity >=1 && userQuantity <=200){
      valid(userQuantity);
    } else {
      $('#total-sum').val("error");
    }
  });


  $('#usd').on('click', function(){
    $('#eur').removeClass('greenChacked');
    $(this).addClass('greenChacked');
    valid(userQuantity);
  });
  $('#eur').on('click', function(){
    $('#usd').removeClass('greenChacked');
    $(this).addClass('greenChacked');
    valid(userQuantity);
  });
  $('#usd').trigger('click');

  function valid(userQuantity){
    if( $('#usd').hasClass('greenChacked') ){
      var usdCurr = userQuantity * 10 + 'doll';
      $('#total-sum').val(usdCurr);
    }
    if( $('#eur').hasClass('greenChacked') ){
      var eurCurr = userQuantity * 5 + 'eur';
      $('#total-sum').val(eurCurr);
    }
  }

Answer 1

Define your variable (userQuantity) within the function. It will be available via closure to the other functions and callbacks without having global scope. See this new jsFiddle .

The start of the new code looks as follows:

$(document).ready(function () {
    var userQuantity;
    $('#user-quantity').keyup(function () {
        userQuantity = parseInt($(this).val());
        if (userQuantity >= 1 && userQuantity <= 200) {
            setCurrency();
        } else {
            $('#total-sum').val("error");
        }
    });

Answer 2

You could wrap your code inside a immediately invoked function

(function () {
    var userQuantity;

    $(document).ready(function () {
        //rest of your code 
    };
}());
