// register the service 'RazorToStringRenderer' and configure
// views path.

• Create The model and template in the specified path.

• Model must be derived from RazorViewModel

public class EmailTemplate : RazorViewModel
{
    public string Content { get; set; }

    public string Url { get; set; }
}

• Create template

@model Sample.RazorEmailTemplate.Emails.EmailTemplate
@{
  Layout = "./_Layout.cshtml";
  ViewBag.Title = "RazorToString";
}

@if (ViewBag.Message is {})
{
  <div>
    ViewBag.Content: @ViewBag.Message
  </div>
}

<div>
  @Model.Content
  <a href="@Model.Url"></a>
</div>

• To use the template render it using IRazorToStringRenderer service

private readonly IRazorToStringRenderer _razor;

public HomeController(IRazorToStringRenderer razor) => _razor = razor;

[HttpGet("/")]
public async Task<ActionResult> SendEmail()
{
    var result = await _razor.RenderAsync(new EmailTemplate
    {
        Content = "Hi Shaheen, to confirm your email please use this link.",
        Url = "https://github.com/xshaheen/RazorToString",
        ViewData =
        {
            ["Message"] = "This is message"
        }
    });

    // just output the string
    return Content($"The email is\n\n{result}");
