The problem is that you are trying to use PHP inside a javascript file. PHP only works inside .php
files.
If you want to pass information to your javascript file from PHP, use wp_localize_script
to store it in a variable, e.g. in a PHP file:
$values = array(
'foo' => 'bar',
);
wp_localize_script( 'yourscripthandle', 'objectname', $values );
Now whenever the yourscripthandle
script is enqueued, it will put those values at window.objectname
.
You can accesss them like this in javascript:
const values = window.objectname;
console.log( values.foo ); // prints 'bar'
