Yii: Add a JavaScript to the header

Question

I need <script> in header to define a JavaScript variable (var dates={...};) which is to be used from a .js script.

It should be preferably in header and not inside jQuery(function($){...}) not to hide the variable from using it by my .js script.

Can it be done in any other way than modifying the layout?

How about Yii::app()->clientScript->registerScript($script_source, CClientScript::POS_HEAD) in the controller? — user1233508

@DCoder: Your code produces a script wrapped into jQuery(function($){...}) what is unsatisfactory for me. — porton

You can still export a symbol into the global scope... $(function() { window.dates = ... ; }) (though you might want to think about a more unique name for it). — user1233508

@DCoder's example is wrong in that it's missing the first argument (script id). The correct example is Yii::app()->clientScript->registerScript($scriptId, $scriptSource, CClientScript::POS_HEAD) and for me at least, on Yii 1.1.13, it will not be wrapped inside jQuery(). That would happen on CClientScript::POS_READY. — kekkis

I usually do this:

Yii::app()->clientScript->registerScript('my vars','
    var myFirstVar="something";
    var myUrl="' . CController::createUrl("controller/action") . '";
    ,CClientScript::POS_HEAD);
