Hi,
How can I create a variable that contains the current year, and then use it within the page?
I've tried this:
<script>
// Return today's date and time
const currentTime = new Date()
// returns the year (four digits)
const year = currentTime.getFullYear()
</script>
But I can't seem to access the "year" variable from within the HTML?

Other options would be to write to a global available var, or do mutate the html with your script
but normally vars inside of script tags are not accesible from the outside

Thanks, and this will run client side and display the year, so it's always correct?

the example will run SSR, if you need something for static sites, you need to user either a global variable or mutate the html within your script
