Question

I’m using the MVC 4.

In my view i can simply get an action’s url by using the: @Url.Action

Now i wanted to make a javascript file with all the view’s javascript instead of writing it all in the view, the problem is i can’t use the razor’s stuff anymore.

so my question is how can i get the action’s url from a javascript separated file?

You’ll need to define a JavaScript variable within your view that you can then use in your script. Obviously this must be declared first.

I use a helper on my layout pages that has all these variables and a section for any I’d want specific to a page. Note these would come before any other script references before the body tag.

@Scripts.Variables()
@RenderSection("ScriptVariables", false)

The Scripts.Variables is something like this

@helper Variables()
{
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
        var ActionGetallAdmin = '@Url.Action("GetAll", "Admin")';
        var ActionAccountLogin = '@Url.Action("Login", "Account")';
    </script>
}
