    The following code can be used to easily add Typekit’s JavaScript to your theme: 

    function mytheme_enqueue_typekit() {
   wp_enqueue_script( 'mytheme-typekit', 'https://use.typekit.net/.js', array(), '1.0' );
   wp_add_inline_script( 'mytheme-typekit', 'try{Typekit.load({ async: true });}catch(e){}' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'mytheme_enqueue_typekit' );

    Which results in:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://use.typekit.net/.js?ver=1.0">
    try{Typekit.load({ async: true });}catch(e){}
</script>

    For adding inline script

    function theme_prefix_enqueue_script() {
   wp_enqueue_script( 'main-js', '/main.js', array(), '1.0' );
   wp_add_inline_script( 'main-js', 'alert("hello world");' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_prefix_enqueue_script' );

    For jQuery-dependent scripts use this:

    function theme_prefix_enqueue_script() {
   if ( ! wp_script_is( 'jquery', 'done' ) ) {
     wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );
   }
   wp_add_inline_script( 'jquery-migrate', 'jQuery(document).ready(function(){});' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_prefix_enqueue_script' );
