ASP.NET Core MVC bootstrap modal - vary contents

Question

I am trying to reproduce the following bootstrap modal example.

Each button has different data-x attributes that allow the modal to have different text for each button click.

The problem is that ASP.NET MVC Core does not allow me to use the @ character in the button contents. If i use a @ character as per the example, it wont compile but if i remove the @ it doesnt work.

(@ is reserved for the MVC Model data)

How do I make this work? Is there a way i can do like /@/ or something to allow me to use the @ character or is there an alternative?

Thanks

 $('#exampleModal').on('show.bs.modal', function (event) { var button = $(event.relatedTarget) // Button that triggered the modal var recipient = button.data('whatever') // Extract info from data-* attributes // If necessary, you could initiate an AJAX request here (and then do the updating in a callback). // Update the modal's content. We'll use jQuery here, but you could use a data binding library or other methods instead. var modal = $(this) modal.find('.modal-title').text('New message to ' + recipient) modal.find('.modal-body input').val(recipient) }) 

 <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#exampleModal" data-whatever="@mdo">Open modal for @mdo</button> <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#exampleModal" data-whatever="@fat">Open modal for @fat</button> <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#exampleModal" data-whatever="@getbootstrap">Open modal for @getbootstrap</button> <div class="modal fade" id="exampleModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="exampleModalLabel" aria-hidden="true"> <div class="modal-dialog" role="document"> <div class="modal-content"> <div class="modal-header"> <h5 class="modal-title" id="exampleModalLabel">New message</h5> <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"> <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span> </button> </div> <div class="modal-body"> <form> <div class="form-group"> <label for="recipient-name" class="col-form-label">Recipient:</label> <input type="text" class="form-control" id="recipient-name"> </div> <div class="form-group"> <label for="message-text" class="col-form-label">Message:</label> <textarea class="form-control" id="message-text"></textarea> </div> </form> </div> <div class="modal-footer"> <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button> <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Send message</button> </div> </div> </div> </div> 

Answer 1

If you really want to use @ character then use double @@ instead of single @. ex,

<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#exampleModal" data-whatever="@@mdo">Open modal for @mdo</button>

Answer 2

As Mentioned by @Parvez you need to add @@ to allow the use of @

You need to do it for both data-whatever="@mdo" and Open modal for @mdo

<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#exampleModal" data-whatever="@@mdo">Open modal for @@mdo</button>
