Currently, I am facing an issue where I need to transfer a ViewData from the Controller in the back-end to a JavaScript variable in the front-end. The ultimate goal is to incorporate this variable into an API call through AJAX.
This is what I have been able to put together:
- Controller
public ActionResult Index()
{
ViewData["xTokenBackEnd"] = "IAMATOKEN";
return View();
}
- Index.cshtml
var xTokenFrontEnd = @Html.Raw(Json.Encode(ViewData["xTokenBackEnd"]));
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: 'https:&token=' + xTokenFrontEnd,
dataType: 'json'
}).done(function (result) {})
Upon execution of the application, the token value appears correctly at the end of the URL like this: https:&token=IAMATOKEN. However, despite this, no data seems to be received through the AJAX call. It seems that while the token value is present in the URL, it may not hold any real significance. Could there be a need for further conversion? Interestingly, if I manually input "IAMTOKEN" instead of using the xTokenFrontEnd variable, everything works perfectly fine. This leads me to believe that the issue might lie in how I am appending xTokenFrontEnd to the URL. Any suggestions on resolving this predicament?
