Define javascript variable outside of the view

Question

I want to acess a variable that is defined in an asset file. Currently, my code looks like this:

<script type="text/javascript"> handler = something; </script>

Then I can use "handler" with no problems inside the html. The case is that I want to move this piece of JS to a file inside assets folder, to a cleaner view, assuming that the file is already being loaded by asset pipeline.

Any idea?

Use window.handler = something to set global variable.
