MVC - reading model variable in jquery

Question

I am trying to read model variable in jquery ready function.

 var jsNotes1 [email protected];

when the model.notes1 has an integer value, I was having no issues. But when the model.notes1 has a string value, say for ex: "abcd", the line is getting converted as below

var jsNotes1 = abcd

and Jquery is assuming abcd as a variable rather than as string value and is throwing reference error that abcd is not defined.

Please help me if i am missing something here

• David: String values need to be wrapped in quotes...

Answer 1

try to this

var jsNotes1 ='@Model.Notes1';

Answer 2

You need to wrap it in quotes as it needs to be treated as a string, otherwise it's invalid JavaScript

var jsNotes = "@Model.Notes1";

Answer 3

Try this is in javascript...

var jsNotes1= @Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Model.notes1));
