  There are two easy ways to define global variables in JS.

  1. Implicit variables, such as:
     

     myVariable = myValue;
     

  2. Explicit use of window object
     

     window.myVariable = myValue;
     

  Usually implicit variable is considered bad practice. So you should use the 2nd approach in order to be expressive and explicit with your code.

  Hope this helps.

  Is there any drawback on using Implicit Variables?

  The drawback of Implicit Variables is sometimes you don't really know whether it's a defined variable or an implicit variable, since they look the exactly same. The only difference is, a defined variable usually has its definition somewhere before the assignment is used, while an implicit variable doesn't have such definition up front.

  Using implicit variable is a bad practice, since it could unintentionally overwrite a global variable that you don't intend to do so. In order to be expressive, you should always try to be explicit when you actually intend to define or overwrite a global variable.

  Hope this makes sense.
