Render Razor View to string in ASP.NET Core

by

UPDATE July, 2016

Working fine on the following versions 1.0.0, RC2

Who’s targeting aspnetcore RC2, this snippet might help you:

  • Create a separate Service, so you can use it either if you are not in a controller context, e.g. from a command line or on a queue runner, etc …
  • Register this service in your IoC container in the Startup class

Usage

// using a Model
string html = view.Render("Emails/Test", new Product("Apple"));

// using a Dictionary<string, object>
var viewData = new Dictionary<string, object>();
viewData["Name"] = "123456";

string html = view.Render("Emails/Test", viewData);

Notes

Links in Razor are rendered as relative URL, so this will not work on external views (like emails, etc …).

As for now am generating the link on the controller and pass it to the view through the ViewModel.
