Consider the use of a Namespace registration method, instead of object chains

Warning, do not declare code in the global namespace directly. Instead consider using the $_global_ namespace pattern with a Namespace registration method, this will ensure correct execution with the MDS garbage collector

CheckId SPC038902
TypeName ConsiderUseOfNamespaceRegistration
Severity Warning
Type JavaScriptFile

Bad Practice

var Global = Global || {};
Global.Child = Global.Child || {};
Global.Child.ChildOfChild = Global.Child.ChildOfChild || {};

Good Practice
// Method accepts whole namespace chain, registers Namespaces and creates objects
Type.RegisterNamespace('Global.Child.ChildOfChild');
