Pass Array from MVC to javascript?

Question

I can pass a variable from MVC ASP.NET by using this :

var lastCategoryId = \'<%=Model.CS.LastSelectedCategory %>\';

This work fine

Answer 1

You need to format the array into a JavaScript array syntax.

var someArray = [<%= Model.SomeArray.Select(x => "'" + x +"'")
                           .Aggregate((x,y) => x + ", " + y);  %>];

This will surround each entry by single quotes and then join them together with commas between square brackets.

Updated: removed extra parenthesis.
