Model use in jquery/javascript

Question

Im trying to either set the value of a variable to @Model.IsPublic which is a boolean value. In my javascript/jquery i have this.

 var [email protected]

when i put a semicolon to finish the line it gives me an error. Might be a dumb question. but how can i set a variable to the models value

What? Are you talking about some Microsoft technology? Rails? — Joe

Then you should put the correct tags. I see that @tereško fixed it for you. — Joe

@tereško I'm an ASP MVC user and I completely agree with you :) — Rory McCrossan

The problem is because when converting bool to string ASP MVC uses uppercase. Javascript expects lowercase. What you are effectively doing right now is this:

var pub = True; // = error (unless you have an entity called 'True' - which I hope you don't)

What you need to do is this:

var pub = @Model.IsPublic.ToString().ToLower() // = var pub = true|false;

Alternatively, if you want to create the javascript variable as a string, you simply need to wrap the Model value in quotes:

var pub = "@Model.IsPublic";

Try using like this

<script type="text/javascript">
 var pub='@Model.IsPublic';
</script>
