Using Razor within JavaScript

Question

Is it possible or is there a workaround to use Razor syntax within JavaScript that is in a view (cshtml)?

I am trying to add markers to a Google map...

Answer 1

You're trying to jam a square peg in a round hole.

Razor was intended as an HTML-generating template language. You may very well get it to generate JavaScript code, but it wasn't designed for that.

For instance: What if Model.Title contains an apostrophe? That would break your JavaScript code, and Razor won't escape it correctly by default.

It would probably be more appropriate to use a String generator in a helper function. There will likely be fewer unintended consequences of that approach.
