Using Package Reference .csproj

<PackageReference Include="Razor.Templating.Core" Version="1.4.0" />

Simple Usage:

var model = new ExampleModel()
{
    PlainText = "This text is rendered from Razor Views using Razor.Templating.Core",
    HtmlContent = "<em>You can use it to generate email content, report generation and so on</em>"
};

var viewData = new Dictionary<string, object>();
viewData["Value1"] = "1";

Dependency Injection [Since `v1.4.0`]

Dependencies can be injected directly into views using @inject in .csthml file. Refer sample application here

In ASP.NET Core, add dependency like below in Startup.cs -> ConfigureServices

...
services.AddTransient<ExampleService>();
//add after registering all the dependencies
services.AddRazorTemplating();

or in console or other applications, add as below

// Add dependencies to the service collection
var services = new ServiceCollection();
services.AddTransient<ExampleService>();
// Add RazorTemplating after registering all dependencies
// this is important for the razor template engine to find the injected services
services.AddRazorTemplating(); 
var html = await RazorTemplateEngine.RenderAsync("~/Views/ExampleViewServiceInjection.cshtml");

Razor Views in Library

Razor view files(.cshtml) can be organized in a separate shared Razor Class Libary(RCL). Sample library can be found here

Sample Applications

Please find the sample applications here

Note:

Please ensure that the views path is always unique among all the shared template projects.
