Problem with javascript variables "ReferenceError: variable not defined"

[Megadarren88 0]

I don't need help with this, just want to share a solution I found on the Russian side with the English side. Not sure where else to post—Support seemed like the right spot.

If you're having trouble with the "ReferenceError: randomVariableHere not defined" popping up in the logs when trying to work with JavaScript, the problem could be due to your BAS variable naming conventions or how you format your variables name. In BAS, if you are going to put variables into the JavaScript(browser) module, you need to use the all-uppercase, underscore-separated format (commonly known as screaming snake case) rather than camelCase.

For example, if you declare your variable in BAS this way you will get a reference error:

But if you declare your variable like this your js code will work in the browser:

I hope that clears up any possible confusion for others that may be experiencing the same problem I was. Please feel free to add anything contributing and keep on keepin on.
