I would like to show a toastr
(aka a popup) if TempData
isn't null. However, I'm having trouble integrating the jQuery and Razor syntax together. This is my current javascript:
$(document).ready(function() {
if (@TempData["SuccessMessage"] != null) {
toastr.options = {
"closeButton": true,
"positionClass": "toast-bottom-right"
}
toastr.success("This is a test!");
}
});
However, the toastr isn't displaying. I'm already checking TempData further up to also display text to the user.
@if (TempData["SuccessMessage"] != null)
{
<div class="success-message">
@Html.Raw(@TempData["SuccessMessage"].ToString())
</div>
}
I'm wondering if an alternative would be to somehow use the above markup and just check if this div exists, and if so, show the toastr? Or perhaps I can integrate the two checks into one? Suggestions?
I was able to get it working with the following code:
$(document).ready(function() {
var success = @((TempData["SuccessMessage"] != null).ToString().ToLower());
if (success == true) {
toastr.options = {
"closeButton": true,
"positionClass": "toast-bottom-right"
}
toastr.success("Success! You're now registered for Lose A Ton!");
}
});
For anyone curious, I had to call ToLower()
because TempData would always return True
or False
, rather than true
or false
. The reasons for this are explained here.
