Within a MVC controller I am trying to pass a collection of data back to the view.
private string GetEntityList() { var entities = new[] { new EntityList{ EntityId = 1, EntityName = "Entity 1"}, new EntityList{ EntityId = 2, EntityName = "Entity 2"}, new EntityList{ EntityId = 3, EntityName = "Entity 3"}, new EntityList{ EntityId = 4, EntityName = "Entity 4"}, new EntityList{ EntityId = 5, EntityName = "Entity 5"} }; var settings = new JsonSerializerSettings { ContractResolver = new CamelCasePropertyNamesContractResolver() }; return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(entities, Formatting.None, settings); }
And I send it to the view via a string model
public ViewResult Index() { return View("index","", GetEntityList()); }
Within my cshtml file I am trying to assign the model to a property called mvcData that a part of a service I define
app.factory("searchAttributes", function() { console.log(@Html.Raw(Model)); return { mvcData:@Html.Raw(Model) }; });This script tag resides inside of my ng-app so its in the scope of the app however when I try to reference if from app.controller
it appears as undefined
app.controller('searchController', ['$scope', 'searchService', 'ngNotifier', '$log', '$timeout', 'searchAttributes', function ($scope, searchService, searchAttributes, ngNotifier, $log, $timeout) { var vm = this; //bootstraped data from MVC $scope.searchAttributes = searchAttributes.mvcData; }]);
Looking at the model when it is returned to the html I can see that it is a valid object. Using console.log(@Html.Raw(Model)
I see objects coming back
Object[0] entityId: 1 entityName: "Entity 1" Object[1] entityId: 2 entityName: "Entity 2"
Any ideas why this object isn't being picked up in the controller? Even though I have it defined as a dependency it's as if the ng-controller
doesn't detect it/load it.
