Question: Change the global s

Hello,

a marketing tracking js library is override the global s variable from underscore.string in my app.

May I change the naming of the global variable to something else?

We should add jQuery style s.noConflict().

But if you can inject code between the libraries you can workaround it like this:

<script src="underscore.string.js"></script>
<script>
// Copy the s global to _s and allow s to be overridden
window._s = window.s;
</script>
<script src="marketing.js"></script>

But of course the best solution would be to adopt a module system and stop using globals.

thx, this solution works.

@epeli Do you still think we need noConflict or is this solution enough? IMO it's enough

I would not oppose it if it were implemented.
