[Answered ]-UUID from django database to Javascript that changes link based on current page

I figured out a way to make this work although I am sure there is a better way to do this.

I got rid of the json dumb and just cast to a string

views.py

newlink = []
links = CreatedScoreboardUnique.objects.filter(players=request.user)
for link in links:
    newlink.append(str(link.pk))

Then for javascript I replaced the extra characters when I JSON.parse to get rid of the errors I was getting

javascript

function nextScoreboard(){
    var links = JSON.parse("{{links}}".replace(/'/g,'"'))
    var currId = "{{scoreboard.unique_id}}"
    for(i = 0; i < links.length; i++){
        if(links[i] == currId){
            if(i+1 != links.length){
                window.location.href = "http://127.0.0.1:8000/scoreboard/" + links[i+1]
            } else {
                window.location.href = "http://127.0.0.1:8000/scoreboard/"
            }
        }
    }
}

So basically removing those ‘ characters allowed me to create the format I needed to make this work
