Is it possible to access a Model property in an external Javascript file?

e.g. In "somescript.js" file

var currency = '@Model.Currency';
alert(currency);

On my View

<script src="../../Scripts/somescript.js" type="text/javascript">

This doesn't appear to work, however if I put the javascript directly into the view inside script tags then it does work? This means having to put the code in the page all the time instead of loading the external script file like this:

@model MyModel;

<script lang=, type=>
var currency = '@Model.Currency';
alert(currency);
</script>

Is there any way around this?

I tackled this problem using data attributes, along with jQuery. It makes for very readable code, and without the need of partial views or running static javascript through a ViewEngine. The JavaScript file is entirely static and will be cached normally.

Index.cshtml:

@model Namespace.ViewModels.HomeIndexViewModel
<h2>
    Index
</h2>

@section scripts
{
    <script id="Index.js" src="~/Path/To/Index.js"
        data-action-url="@Url.Action("GridData")"
        data-relative-url="@Url.Content("~/Content/Images/background.png")"
        data-sort-by="@Model.SortBy
        data-sort-order="@Model.SortOrder
        data-page="@ViewData["Page"]"
        data-rows="@ViewData["Rows"]"></script>
}

Index.js:

jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
    // import all the variables from the model
    var $vars = $('#Index\.js').data();

    alert($vars.page);
    alert($vars.actionUrl); // Note: hyphenated names become camelCased
});

_Layout.cshtml (optional, but good habit):

<body>
    <!-- html content here. scripts go to bottom of body -->

    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/js")
    @RenderSection("scripts", required: false)
</body>
