ASP MVC Razor if statement with javascript inside

Question

This is what I'm trying to do in my view:

<script type="text/javascript">
    @if (ViewBag.scroll != null)
    {
        console.log("viewbag data: " + @ViewBag.scroll);
    }
    else
    {
        console.log("no viewbag data");
    }
</script>

I'd like to execute some jQuery code depending if the ViewBag has data, but it is giving me this error:

the name 'console' does not exist in the current context.

Surround the `console.log` lines with ` ... ` tags. – Cᴏʀʏ Mar 23 '16 at 20:30 — Cᴏʀʏ, Mar 23 '16 at 20:30

You could assign it to a variable.

<script type="text/javascript">
    var hasScroll = @ViewBag.scroll != null;
    if (hasScroll) {
        console.log("viewbag data: " + @ViewBag.scroll);
    } else {
        console.log("no viewbag data");
    }
</script>
