how to use data of one js file in another js file

Question

I have a.js and qunits are written in b.js,input data will be present in a.js,so inorder to use that input data of a.js in b.js,how can i do.i know that both js files can be included in html page.but b.js contains qunits for javascript methods (just like junits) these will be ran from build.xml so i cannot have a html Hence i cannot use html.

I tried invoking methods of a.js since both files are in same directory but didnt worked out.

is there any other way to use data of a.js in b.js?

when you are in b.js write

$(document).ready({
$.ajax({
url: "",
context: document.body
}).done(function() {

});
});

and in this do ajax call to bring the contents of a.js and use that content on this page anywhere you need.

What you need is to include a Javascript file into another, have a look at this answer

To be briefly, there are two main methods to make it(Copy from the answer I mentioned) :

You can load it with an Ajax call and then use eval.
Add a script tag with the script URL in the HTML.

in a.js

yourGlobal = {}
yourGlobal.data = {a: 'good', b: 'c'}

use yourGlobal in b.js

if(yourGlobal) {
   function callGlobalFunction() {
        alert(yourGlobal)
   }
}
