Syntax error while parsing model in javascript

Question

Hello all I am Using following syntax in my javascript

 var careteam = "@Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Model.CareTeamForFile))";

I am getting the following error

SyntaxError: missing ; before statement
[Break On This Error]   

var careteam = "[{"GroupId":3,"GroupName":"Physician","Users":[{"UserId":3438,"

an arrow is there indicating position.

I have used this syntax in other places where it works absolutely fine.

In JS you get next line:

var careteam = "[{"GroupId":3,"GroupName":"Physician","Users":[{"UserId":3438,"

If we will read this line it gives you declaration of variable var careteam = "[{", after you have GroupId":3,"GroupName":"Physician","Users":[{"UserId":3438," which does not make sense for JS.

Change the razor syntax to:

var careteam = '@Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Model.CareTeamForFile))';

So in careteam you will have a string

var careteam = '[{"GroupId":3,"GroupName":"Physician","Users":[{"UserId":3438," ... '

But my bet this is not what you want, you want to have an array in careteam, so my guess this is the right solution:

var careteam = @Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Model.CareTeamForFile));

And you will get in JS:

var careteam = [{"GroupId":3,"GroupName":"Physician","Users":[{"UserId":3438," ...

yea.. outcoldman your first solution works but can u please tell me why it is working in case of var fileforteam = "@Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Model.FileForMyTeam))";

String in JavaScript can be defined like var a = 'a'; or var a = "a";, no difference, just different syntax. If you need to use ' or " in it you need to escape this symbol by var a = 'a\'b'; or var a = "a\"b";, but you also can change it to var a = "a'b"; or var a = 'a"b';, and you will not need to escape these symbols, because in case where you use ' you need to escape ', but " is fine and other way. Hope this is clear :)

yes fourth one is the correct way with respect of JS and HTML but in razor i am getting syntax error at ; when i declare var careteam = @Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Model.CareTeamForFile));

For the syntax error, change var careteam = @Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Model.CareTeamForFile)); to var careteam = function () { return @Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Model.CareTeamForFile)); }
