Research direction

Start by searching the README for the var keyword and review the surrounding example to confirm that const is valid there. Done means the README uses const instead of var for this example and its JavaScript guidance reflects the requested modern standard.

Description

future

Since the var keyword is considered outdated and less preferable compared to let and const. I think it would be beneficial if we updated the var keyword to const in the README. This change will align with the modern JS standards and will ensure that developers following the README are using the modern JavaScript coding standard.
