Alternative to RazorEngine?

[GFoley83]

Looks like this project is dead and also has some issues working with Core and some Azure services (e.g. Azure Functions).

What are people using instead?

@GFoley83 if your goal is only to compile Razor view templates, you can use this solution https://dotnetstories.com/blog/Generate-a-HTML-string-from-cshtml-razor-view-using-ASPNET-Core-that-can-be-used-in-the-c-controlle-7173969632

Helped me a lot.

@GFoley83 I recommend RazorLight. If you use it with .net core 3, please check it.

This doesn't appear to be open source.

This will not work with .NET Core 3.0.

Try to use version 2.0.0-beta1.

@GFoley83 that's the version I have been using

It works in my project using .Net core 3.0 with following code:

async Task<string> Assemble(string viewString, YourModelType model)
{
  var engine = new RazorLight.RazorLightEngineBuilder()
    .UseMemoryCachingProvider().Build();
  return engine.CompileRenderAsync("somekey", viewString, model);
}

I also switched to RazorLight using .Net Core 3.0

RazorLight does not support @helper. Just FYI.

After a long research. @helper is simply not available in .NET Core 3 but you can go around it.

But I found myself going with this: https://github.com/EtiennePeeters/AzureFunctionsRazorEmailTemplateSample

I was able to run the out of the box Razor in an Azure Function.
