Razor MVC Populating Javascript array with Model Array

Question

I m trying to load a JavaScript array with an array from my model  Its seems to me that this should be possible   Neither of the below ways work   Cannot create a JavaScript loop and increment through Model Array with JavaScript variable  for var j 0  j lt 255  j          jsArray      Model data j          Cannot create a Razor loop  JavaScript is out of scope   foreach var d in Model data        jsArray   d      I can get it to work with  var jsdata    Html Raw Json Encode Model data       But I don t know why I should have to use JSON    Also while at the moment I m restricting this to 255 bytes  In the future it could run into many MBs

This would be better approach as I have implemented :)

@model ObjectUser
@using System.Web.Script.Serialization
@{ 
    var javaScriptSearilizer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
    var searializedObject = javaScriptSearilizer.Serialize(Model);
 }

<script>
    var searializedObject = @Html.Raw(searializedObject )
    console.log(searializedObject);
    alert(searializedObject);
</script>

Hope this will help you to prevent you from iterating model ( happy coding )

To expand on the top-voted answer  for reference  if the you want to add more complex items to the array     myArray push ClassMember1    d ClassMember1   ClassMember2    d ClassMember2      etc   Furthermore  if you want to pass the array as a parameter to your controller  you can stringify it first   myArray   JSON stringify    myArray   myArray

This is possible  you just need to loop through the razor collection   lt script type  text javascript  gt       var myArray             foreach  var d in Model data                  myArray push   d               alert myArray     lt  script gt    Hope this helps

If it is a symmetrical  rectangular  array then Try pushing into a single dimension javascript array   use razor to determine the array structure  and then transform into a 2 dimensional array      this just sticks them all in a one dimension array of rows   cols var myArray   new Array     foreach  var d in Model ResultArray          myArray push   d       var MyA   new Array     var rows    Model ResultArray GetLength 0   var cols    Model ResultArray GetLength 1       now convert the single dimension array to 2 dimensions var NewRow  var myArrayPointer   0   for  rr   0  rr  lt  rows  rr        NewRow   new Array      for   cc   0  cc  lt  cols  cc            NewRow push myArray myArrayPointer        myArrayPointer          MyA push NewRow

The valid syntax with named fields    var array              foreach  var item in model List                   array push                            quot Project quot    quot  item Project quot                           quot ProjectOrgUnit quot    quot  item ProjectOrgUnit quot

JSON syntax is pretty much the JavaScript syntax for coding your object   Therefore  in terms of conciseness and speed  your own answer is the best bet     I use this approach when populating dropdown lists in my KnockoutJS model   E g    var desktopGrpViewModel         availableComputeOfferings  ko observableArray  Html Raw JsonConvert SerializeObject ViewBag ComputeOfferings         desktopGrpComputeOfferingSelected  ko observable       ko applyBindings desktopGrpViewModel           lt select name  ComputeOffering  class  form-control valid  id  ComputeOffering  data-val  true   data-bind  options  availableComputeOffering             optionsText   Name              optionsValue   Id              value  desktopGrpComputeOfferingSelect             optionsCaption   Choose      gt   lt  select gt    Note that I m using Json NET NuGet package for serialization and the ViewBag to pass data
