Support creating Tag Helpers using CSHTML files

[DamianEdwards]

Just an initial idea:

RepeatTagHelper.cshtml

@tagHelper "repeat"

@class {
    [HtmlAttributeName("repeat")]
    public int Repeat { get; set; }
}

@{
    output.TagName = null;
}

@for (var i = 0; i < Repeat; i++) {
    @await output.GetChildContentAsync(useCachedValue: false)
}

public int Repeat { get; set; }?

[DamianEdwards]

Doh, typo

This is a very cool one, perhaps it's very handy if we support it too in the "Razor Pages", because it's kind of Razor Helpers that we know and love

[DamianEdwards]

Yep, this would of course work with the pages stuff too.

[hishamco]

Can we use @functions instead of @Class because the block already allow us to declare properties

[brockallen]

It's too thin of a veneer, IMO. So for people that know tag helpers, why not just code in C#. For those that don't already know how tag helpers work, there's too much magic here.

Wouldn't that essentially be the same functionality as a ViewComponent?

Moving to the backlog, this is not planned for 2.0.0-preview1.
