RenderRazor

A small .NET Standard library that renders Razor templates to strings.

How to installl

dotnet add package RenderRazor

or

Install-Package RenderRazor

How to use

• Razor template as a string:

The first line should aways be: @inherits TemplateBase<MyModel> where MyModel is the .NET class that you want to use as the @Model. You can also use the Fully Qualified Type Name there if that helps you. :)

const string TemplateString = "@inherits TemplateBase<MyModel>\nHello @Model.Name, welcome to Razor World!";

• The .NET class that you want to pass as the @Model:

var model = new MyModel
{
    Name = "Cats"
};

• Create a renderer:

var render = new RazorRenderer<MyModel>(TemplateString);

• Call the compile method:

This is very slow. It calls both the Razor and the C# compillers. This simple example executes 100 times for ~300ms on my Intel I7-6700K Workstation. When you create a renderer, be sure to reuse it.

render.Compile();

• Call the render:

This is very fast. This simple example executes 1 000 000 times for ~300ms on my Intel I7-6700K Workstation.

string result = await render.Render(model);
Assert.Equal("Hello Cats, welcome to Razor World!", result);
