So, first question I couldn't find an answer to. Might be reason enough to ask my own first question. Apologies if the answer can be found outside the scope of backbone.js.

In a backbone.js app, I need to have access to several variables in different functions, so I have to use some global variables setup.

I'm wondering if my current solution is acceptable/good practise. My IDE (IDEA) seems to think it isn't:

var MyModel = Backbone.Model.extend({



initialize:function(){

  var myGlobalVar, myOtherGlobalVar;//marked as unused local variable

},



myFunction:function() {          

      myGlobalVar = value;//marked as implicitly declared

      model.set({mrJson: {email: myGlobalVar}});

      model.save();

    });

  }

},



myOtherFunction:function() {          

      myOtherGlobalVar = otherValue;//marked as implicitly declared

      model.set({mrJson: {email: myGlobalVar, other: myOtherGlobalVar}});

      model.save();

    });

  }

}

}

I tried declaring the implicitly declared globals, but that resulted in them not being accessible from the othe function.

Is there a proper way to do handle these global variables in backbone.js?
