using razor within javascript
I would like to place a siimple value from the model on a razor page and use it as a constant value in a javascript function. i.e.
<script> var myValue = @Model.myRecord.Count();</script>
so that myValue = the record count in my model. I am using myRecord.Count as an example, it could be any value from my model.
Is this possible?
TIA

OK I stumbled across the following solution:
<script> var myValue = @(Model.myRecord.Count())</script>
Just putting inthe extra brackets helped.
Sure, just make sure to properly encode it. For example you could JSON encode the entire model itself:
@model IEnumerable<MyViewModel>
<script type="text/javascript">
var model = @Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Model));
// at this stage the model javascript variable represents the JSON encoded
// value of your server side model so that you can access all it's properties:
alert(model.length);
</script>
or:
alert(model[2].Foo.Bar);
or whatever.
But if you only care about the number of elements inside the model (if this model represents a collection):
var count = @Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Model.Count()));
alert(count);
Make sure this is in a Razor file:
<script> var myValue = @Model.myRecord.Count();</script>
If it is in just a js file, the Razor engine won't run that code at all.
