Is this the correct way? I want the statement to run if the value of somevar equals the string?
if (somevar = '836e3ef9-53d4-414b-a401-6eef16ac01d6'){
$("#code").text(data.DATA[0].ID);
}

In JavaScript, strings can be compared based on their “value”, “characters case”, “length”, or “alphabetically” order: To compare strings based on their values and characters case, use the “Strict Equality Operator (===)”.
Compare two strings using the Equal to (==) operator in C++ Equal To (==) operator: It is used to check the equality of the first string with the second string.
To compare two strings in JavaScript, use the localeCompare() method. The method returns 0 if both the strings are equal, -1 if string 1 is sorted before string 2 and 1 if string 2 is sorted before string 1.
The algorithm to compare two strings is simple: Compare the first character of both strings. If the first character from the first string is greater (or less) than the other string's, then the first string is greater (or less) than the second. We're done.
NO, when you are using only one "=" you are assigning the variable.
You must use "==" : You must use "===" :
if (somevar === '836e3ef9-53d4-414b-a401-6eef16ac01d6'){
$("#code").text(data.DATA[0].ID);
}
You could use fonction like .toLowerCase() to avoid case problem if you want

No. = sets somevar to have that value. use === to compare value and type which returns a boolean that you need.
Never use or suggest == instead of ===. its a recipe for disaster. e.g 0 == "" is true but "" == '0' is false and many more.
