Global variable in a single ts file

[rapropos]

@gregoireg

I think var is perfectly valid and is everywhere on the web.

I disagree strongly. See this topic for why. I do not find “is everywhre on the web” compelling in the slightest. The point of support forums like this is to guide people towards good coding practices, not popular ones.

@gregoireg

I think that everyone has their own coding choice.

Absolutely agree. I am trying to argue the merits of my opinions on this matter, and I am perfectly willing to let it stand in the court of public opinion.

@gregoireg

I wrote “perfect” to @cfarren because his solution was an immediate fix

I hope anybody in the future coming across this thread does not follow in your footsteps.

@gregoireg

he was kind enough to write some code. You suggested a solution that is probably working but you didn’t provide code.

I guess I appreciate the fact that your primary concern is making something “work”. Mine is that future readers will spend less time going through the frustrations I went through, and will become more prolific programmers faster. I feel this thread is a net negative on that front.
