I have a script tag
<script type="module" src="d.js"></script>
and In that script tag I define a global variable like this df = 324.
When I do this I get a reference error Uncaught ReferenceError: df is not defined. Why is this?

I guess so but sometimes it's just easier to get things done quickly. – ethtrhaef Sep 28 '20 at 12:07

Because modules are by default in strict mode
https://developer.mozilla.org/de/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Strict_mode
If you try:
"use strict";
df = 324;
It wont work either
"use strict";
df = 324;Without
df = 324;
console.log(df);
