Pass variables from template to js file.

[nul77]

How can I pass variables from a template to an external script? The script is registered in referenceBlock breeze.js in breeze_default.xml.
The component is initialised via text/x-magento-init script like this:
<script type="text/x-magento-init"> { "*": { "FME_GiftWrapper/js/modal": { "symbol": "<?= $escaper->escapeJs($block->getCurrentCurrencySymbol()) ?>" } } } </script>

How can I use the value for the 'symbol' variable in my js-file?

Thanks in advance, Tom

It should be the same as you had in the Luma-based script.

If it's a widget - this.options.symbol, or if it's a view (uiComponent) - this.symbol

Thank you for your reply.
There is no external Luma-based script. Just a big inline script I'm attempting to replace.
