Clear Thinking in Data, Cloud, and AI

Let’s begin with a model.

public class RoleModel
{ 
     public int RoleId { get; set; }
     public string RoleName { get; set; }
}

Add some data to the model;

List<RoleModel> roles = new List<RoleModel> {
     new RoleModel{
                     RoleId= 1,
                     RoleName = "Administrator"
                },
     new RoleModel
                {
                     RoleId = 2,
                     RoleName = "Manager"
                }
            };

Pass this to razor view;

@model List<RoleModel>

Declare Javascript Sections in your razor view;

<end of HTML here>
@section Scripts
{
    //go with jQuery ready function
    $(document).ready(function () {
       //get model data here
       var roles = @Html.Raw(Json.Serialize(Model.Roles));

       //iterate through model data

       $.each(roles, function(i, role){
            console.log(role.roleName);
      });
  }
}

This will output this data;

AspNetCore

AspNetCore uses Json.Serialize intead of Json.Encode

var json = @Html.Raw(Json.Serialize(@Model.Roles));

MVC 5/6

You can use Newtonsoft for this:

    @Html.Raw(Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(Model, 
Newtonsoft.Json.Formatting.Indented))

This gives you more control of the json formatting i.e. indenting as above, camelcasing etc.
