How To Use ViewBag Data In jQuery

Question

Here I have ViewBag in a controller which contains text i.e ViewBag.Msg = "No Sprint".
And I am trying to use ViewBag.Msg in Jquery to display modal.
Now, the problem is that the script is script never gets executed.

Below is my jQuery.

 <script>
    $(document).ready(function () {
        debugger;
        if (@ViewBag.Msg != null)
        {
            $("#myModal").modal();
        }
    });
</script>

Any help will be highly appreciated. Thank You.

What is the resulting client-side code? Did you just forget to enclose a string in quotes? Check your browser console for errors. — David, Oct 14 '17 at 11:22

You need to use quotation marks for the view bag, as it will appear as a literal string.

If your debugger is not hitting at all, then you have another issue, post your full code. (your .cshtml file and layout)

 <script>
    $(document).ready(function () {
        debugger;
        if ('@ViewBag.Msg' != null)
        {
            $("#myModal").modal();
        }
    });
 </script>

Please use the below code.

<script>
    $(document).ready(function () {
        debugger;
        var msg='@ViewBag.Msg';
        if (msg !== '')
        {
            $("#myModal").modal();
        }
    });
</script>
