I am trying to parse an object from ViewBag to Javascript without luck. I have tried so far with jQuery/razor/mixed syntax...to no avail. When I tried with Json.Encode()
, I get an "error not defined".
Class
class Story
{
public long Id {get;set;}
public string Description{get;set;}
}
Controller
[HttpGet]
public IActionResult Index(Story _story)
{
List<Location> Locations = this.context.Locations.ToList();
ViewBag.story = _story;
return View(context.Locations);
}
View
$(document).ready(function() {
var story = JSON.parse("@ViewBag.story");
var story2try = '@(ViewBag.story)';
console.log(@ViewBag.story.Id);
console.log(story);
console.log(story2try);
});
The thing is the first log gets printed so for primitive data types such as strings/int/long it works but not for objects. I get this error afterwards:
Unexpected token A in JSON at position 0 SyntaxError: Unexpected token A in JSON at position 0
