Grid JavaScript Strings

[Joel]

Note:  It seems your forum no longer has formatting options for pasting code.

 

I have an odd behavior where I can't pass a String value from my model to the JavaScript behind the Grid.  I pass int? values without issue but Strings do not pass. 

This works fine:

var customerId = Number(@Model.CustomerId);

This does not work:

var uniqueId = @Model.CustomerUniqueId;

var uniqueId = String(@Model.CustomerUniqueId);

My full grid and scripts:

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<Person>()
                    .Name("grid")
                    .Columns(columns =>
                    {
                        columns.Command(command => command
                          .Custom("Detail")
                          .Click("goDetail"))
                          .Width(Glossary.Portal.ButtonWidth);
                        columns.Bound(p => p.FirstName)
                          .Filterable(ftb => ftb.Cell(cell => cell.Operator("contains")
                              .ShowOperators(false)
                              .SuggestionOperator(FilterType.Contains)));
                        columns.Bound(p => p.LastName)
                          .Filterable(ftb => ftb.Cell(cell => cell.Operator("contains")
                              .ShowOperators(false)
                              .SuggestionOperator(FilterType.Contains)));
                    })
                    .Pageable()
                    .Sortable()
                    .Scrollable()
                    .Filterable(ftb => ftb.Mode(GridFilterMode.Row))
                    .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "height:550px;" })
                    .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
                        .Ajax()
                        .PageSize(20)
                        .Read(read => read.Action("IndexJson", "Persons")
                        .Data("getData"))
              ))

        <script type="text/javascript">

            var customerId = Number(@Model.CustomerId);
            var customerInfoId = Number(@Model.CustomerInfoId);
            var groupId = Number(@Model.GroupId);
            var sessionId = Number(@Model.SessionId);
            
            function getData() {
                return {
                    customerId: customerId,
                    customerInfoId: customerInfoId,
                    groupId: groupId,
                    sessionId: sessionId
                };
            }

            function goDetail(e) {
                e.preventDefault();
                var dataItem = this.dataItem($(e.currentTarget).closest("tr"));
                window.location.href = '@Url.Action("Details", "Persons")?id=' + dataItem.Id + '&customerId=' + customerId + '&customerInfoId=' + customerInfoId + '&groupId=' + groupId + '&sessionId=' + sessionId;
            }

            function error_handler(e) {
                if (e.errors) {
                    var message = "Errors:\n";
                    $.each(e.errors,
                        function(key, value) {
                            if ('errors' in value) {
                                $.each(value.errors,
                                    function() {
                                        message += this + "\n";
                                    });
                            }
                        });
                    alert(message);
                }
            }
        </script>

I hate JavaScript.  This works:

var customerUniqueId = '@Model.CustomerUniqueId';

Put quotes around it.

Where is the button that marks this answered?  Your forum has taken a step backward.

Yes, but I can't mark my own post as the answer... only your post has that link.
