Is there a way to access the survey token from my javascript code?

Expression script (aka ExpressionManager) variables are available as strings inside javascript. No objects.

Where do you run your Javascript? Try to assign {TOKEN} as a string to a javascript variable inside your JS code.

Not sure what you mean by your question. In the browser source tab the JS is running from tmp/assets. Accessing TOKEN gives Uncaught ReferenceError: TOKEN is not defined

What version of LimeSurvey is used? Might be a bug or something was changed in a newer version. Is the Survey activated when you test TOKEN?

Version 2.73.1+171220. Yes I am taking the survey and I have a break point set in the JS code $(document).ready function and I am checking it there in the debugger.

{TOKEN} like all placeholders is rendered at the server level so is only available in JS placed in survey text elements, questions group descriptions or theme TWIG files.

Placeholders are not available in the custom.js file and, unless previously defined, the console.

Tpartner answered that nicely. Sorry, that I didn't realized you're using an external script.

That will probably only work on the first screen or if using AJAX mode (which I advise against).

What about the attributes? Can I access those in my JS?

Token attributes are rendered exactly the same as the token.

Easy way : add a javascript function in github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/ma...r/custom_header.twig

Something like
Code:
<script>
var token = "{TOKEN}";
var surveyId = "{SID}";
var yourVarComeFromSurvey = "{QuestionCode}";
</script>
