Model's property in javascript code

Question

I have the following javascript code:

$(window).bind("scheduleComplete", (function (event, params) {

    var hallCount = "@Model.EventSchedules.Actual().Hall.Levels.Count";
    var level; 
    //other code

}));

I want to bind only when if statement is true:

if("@Model.EventSchedules.Count" !== "0")
{
 $(window).bind("scheduleComplete", (function (event, params) {

        var hallCount = "@Model.EventSchedules.Actual().Hall.Levels.Count";
        var level; 
        //other code

    }));
}

Model.EventSchedules.Count equals 0, but code inside it runs anyway.
Where is a problem?

Thanks.

I would recommend you an alternative approach:

<script type="text/javascript">
    var count = @Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Model.EventSchedules.Actual().Hall.Levels.Count));
    if(count > 0) {
        $(window).bind("scheduleComplete", (function (event, params) {
            //other code
        }));
    }
</script>

will render as:

<script type="text/javascript">
    var count = 5;
    if(count > 0) {
        $(window).bind("scheduleComplete", (function (event, params) {
            //other code
        }));
    }
</script>

You are using the !== operator which will need an exact match. If you use != it will use type coercion which will probably make it work. If it does, you know that there is a typing issue. Maybe try without the quotes and work from there.

You could also do the check at the server side and only output the JS if you need it.
