Variable is not defined (sending from HTML to JS file)

Question

I'm trying to send a variable (user.id - current user's id) into my JQuery file which calls a view to delete some data in a database. The problem is that I don't know how to pass user.id into the JS file to be able to append it to url request.

In my template:

<script src="{% static "js/checkTestsSittings.js" %}">var userid = {{ user.id | safe }};</script>

JS file:

$(document).ready(function () {
    alert(userid); // just a test
    request_url = '/check-sittings/'+userid+'/';
    $.ajax({
        url: request_url
    })
});

I'm beginner in JS and Django. Could you give me a hint?

You can't add file and code in a single script tag, you should add them independently, like this

<script>var userid = {{ user.id | safe }};</script>
<script src="{% static "js/checkTestsSittings.js" %}"></script>
