I am using the value of a field in the page as a variable. I am trying to use it in the page somewhere else but I think that there is a problem with the cache because the value is sometimes available and sometimes not. I have the following: $elements['#attached']['drupalSettings']['pdf_app_height'] = $password; and then in a .js file I have: (function ($, Drupal, drupalSettings) { 'use strict'; Drupal.behaviors.pdf_appAccessData = { attach: function (context) { value = drupalSettings.pdf_app_height; alert(value); window.xx = drupalSettings.pdf_app_height; } }; })(jQuery, Drupal, drupalSettings); The alert (value) always shows the right value but I am using on the page somewhere else the following javascript code: alert(xx); Sometimes it is showing the right value and sometimes undefined. Any ideas? I have seen the answer if we are talking about configuration changes (https://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/205867/how-do-i-avoid-having-to-clear-the-cache-when-changing-a-module-configuration-pa?noredirect=1&lq=1) but I don't know how to use it here.
