ASP MVC Access View Model from Javascript

Question

I am using ASP MVC 4 and jQuery. I want to get ViewModel properties from the javascript. I tried some solutions from stackoverflow, but none of them was working for me. Hope you Help me.

Thanks

You have you to have you javascript in your razor file to do this. Do you have yours in your razor file? This link should help https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21391402/access-model-in-javascript-asp-net-mvc-razor — Derek Hackett, Aug 03 '17 at 16:03
This is not possible. The only way around this is to declare a global JavaScript variable in the razor file from the model and use that variable from you external js file. — Derek Hackett, Aug 03 '17 at 16:07
@Alexander @{ date = Model.dates[3].ToString("dddd dd MMMM"); }

You can not access model properties from external JavaScript files so you have two options. You can include all of your JavaScript in the razor file as seen in the link below.

access model in javascript asp .net mvc razor

Otherwise you can set a global JavaScript variable and use it in your external file as seen below.

razor.cshtml

@model Order
<script>
    var isEdit = '@Model.IsEditable'
</script>

externalfile.js

function getEdit() {
alert(isEdit);
}
