javascript - MVC - pass ViewData as boolean -

sorry newbie question.

when passing boolean value controller view using viewdata, how retrieve boolean value in javascript? example:

controller:

viewdata["login"] = true;

view

    <script type="text/javascript"> var login = <%= (bool)viewdata["login"] %>;   /// doesn't work, throw javascript error; </script>

yeh surely can do

  <script type="text/javascript"> var login = '<%= viewdata["login"] %>';   /// login string 'true' </script>

but rather keep login object boolean rather string if that's possible

thanks!

just remove single quotes.

<script type="text/javascript">     var login = <%= (bool)viewdata["login"] ? "true" : "false" %>; </script>

this result in:

var login = true;

which parsed boolean in browser.
