Equivalent of Html.RenderAction in ASP.NET Core

by

I was finally able to do it with ViewComponent. So, instead of RenderAction(), I did:

@section xyz{
        @await Component.InvokeAsync("abc")
    }

Where abc is a class as abcViewComponent. The ViewComponent looks like:

public class abcViewComponent : ViewComponent
    {
        private DbContextOptions<MyContext> db = new DbContextOptions<MyContext>();
        public async Task<IViewComponentResult> InvokeAsync()
        {
            MyContext context = new MyContext(db);
            IEnumerable<tableRowClass> mc = await context.tableRows.ToListAsync();
            return View(mc);
        }
    }

Then, I created a view under a new folder ‘abc’ as Views/Home/Components/abc/Default.cshtml

It is to be noted that the view name is Default.cshtml and that is how it worked. If anyone has any better solution, please let me know.

Thanks for pointing me in the direction of ViewComponent.
