Access model property from javascript

Question

I have an ASP.NET MVC project and I am trying to access a model property (isNew) from the view (.cshtml) and from within javascript function so I am performing below without success:

@model My.Common.DTOs.MyDTO

function Initizalize()
{
   if (!@Model.isNew)
   {
      DoSomeStuff(); // call another javascript function
   }   
}

function DoSomeStuff()
{
}

Answer 1

You can achieve it by this way

if (!@Model.isNew)
{
  <script>
   DoSomeStuff(); // call another javascript function
  </script>
}  

Answer 2

You can try this at your scripts section.

@section scripts{
  <script>
      var isNew = @Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Model.isNew));

      function Initizalize()
      {
          if (!isNew)
          {
              DoSomeStuff();
          }   
      }

      function DoSomeStuff() {

      }

      Initizalize();

  </script>
}
