I have a requirement that there is a 2 Clientlibs:

1)clientlibA ->clientlibA.js

2)clientlibB ->clientlibB.js

clientlibA.js

(function ($, $document, gAuthor) {
 "use strict";
  var sampleText="sample-text-1";
})($, $(document), Granite.author);

How can i access sampleText variable in clientlibB.js

Thanks in advance!!

you can use jQuery Extension Functions, which works as global functions for a request.

@vineel_k If both the clientlibs are invoked within the scope of same page then you can use JS window object to set the value and retrieve at another place (in another clientlib)

window.sampleText="sample-text.-1"

You've to make sure about the execution order i.e. clientlib A logic should execute before clientlib B else property value is going to be undefined.

You can target the Javascript global scope. https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_scope.asp
