Use Separate js File And use Url Helpers in it with ASP.NEt MVC 3 and Razor View Engine

Question

I ask a similar question here and Darin Dimitrov answer that we can\'t use Url helper like $.ajax({ url: \'@Url.Action(\"Index\")\', . . . in sepa

Answer 1

The easiest way is just to create a global variable called something and just reference to it in your external JS

var baseURL = '@Url.Action("Index")';

Inside your external JS

$.ajax({ url: baseURL + "Action"
