global arrays app.myvariable VS modules

Getting Started

When using global proprieties you can either put them inside a global module or call them with app.myvariable…
Whats the best of two ? Whats the best coding practice ?

Thanks

I put them inside a global module, but I refer to the module by name just for my own clarity.
Like so: Globals.isAwesome

I would use a module personally.

Personally the only code I ever put in APP is things that are called by the APP events… everything else especially if it has a Public/Global scope goes in a module or window, again depending on its maximum scope requirement.

In fact an App variable is not really global, it is accessible from anywhere in the app as public with the prefix, just like windows properties.

I personally have a module for the very few global variables I use.

Just a general note, globals are a bad practice and should be used sparingly.

I good read, http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?GlobalVariablesAreBad

Not to say they shouldn’t be used, but used sparingly and in those cases really scrutinize the design to see if there is a better way.
