This repo demonstrates how to use Razor to create HTML Email templates utilizing Layouts, Partials, and Razor Class Libraries.

razorhtmlemails's Issues

.net 6 core compatibility

Hi! I really love the idea to use Razor in console applications or services, but it requires couple updates to make it work with .net 6

// It's required by IOC
var diagnosticListener = new DiagnosticListener("Microsoft.AspNetCore");
services.AddSingleton(diagnosticListener);
services.AddSingleton<DiagnosticSource>(diagnosticListener);

// Here we need to register assembly to make razor find compiled views            
services.AddRazorPages()
  .AddApplicationPart(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly())
  .AddRazorRuntimeCompilation();

// Now we need to add IWebHostEnvironment with custom implementation as default one is internal.
// Implementation is just bunch of properties without any additional logic.
var fileProvider = new PhysicalFileProvider(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory());
services.AddSingleton<Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.IWebHostEnvironment>(new HostingEnvironment
            {
                ApplicationName = Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetName().Name,
                WebRootFileProvider = fileProvider,
                ContentRootFileProvider = fileProvider
            });

Idea: Make the RazorViewToString service a NuGet package

It's simple enough to copy/pasta RazorViewToStringRendereder.cs into my own project. But would be nice to make this a package people can import and update directly in their projects.

Love the walkthrough by the way 🎉 . Thanks for the post and the code share!

Hoped this works from a Console project as well. But doesn't.

This works perfectly when that class library is finally being used in a asp mvc project. But say I have an executable which is used in a schedule job that periodically checks some thing in database and sends out emails.. This is not working.
DI is throwing lot of errors as it is not able to load some dependencies which are only available in Http Context.
