How to pass a value from PHP to Javascript without using Ajax?

Question

I need to pass the version no to javascript from php. But i dont want to use ajax.

$(document).ready(function(){
    init();
})

<body>
...
<input type="hidden" id="version" value="<?php echo $version; ?>
....

<script>
function init() {
   version = $('#version').val();
}
</script>

Can i do in this way? Or, should i use ajax?

If you do so theres no need to put it into a hidden input:

const version = "<?php echo $version; ?>";

Yea, I usually just have .php output a script block that sets the desired javascript variables. I think that's a little clearer then passing them into a hidden element just to pass them back out to js.
