How to include js files in the view. ASP.NET MVC 4

Question

I wonder why my js file work when I call it in the view:

@section Scripts {  


        

Answer 1

It's because .js files are not accessible in the ~/Views/ folder. You have to enable it.

To enable access to .js files in the Views folder, you can add the following to your Views' folder's web.config directly under the handlers tag:

Alternatively put your script into the ~/Scripts/ folder and reference it like such:

@Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/script.js")
