IViewLocalizer in cshtml template

See original GitHub issue

Hello people,

I’m trying to create an email using Razorlight. In my template, I wan’t to inject IViewLocalizer to have a localized email.

My issue is when I render the template, I have a Null Reference if I use the IViewLocalizer

This is normal or I’m doing something wrong ?

Code

@using RazorLight
@inherits TemplatePage<Gardendynamics.Commons.Picaplant.Models.Output.OrderModel>
@using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Localization
@inject IViewLocalizer Localizer

<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <title> @Localizer["OrderTitleEmail"]</title>
    <style type="text/css">
        body {margin: 0; padding: 0; min-width: 100%!important;}
        .content {width: 100%; max-width: 800px;}  
        .header {padding: 40px 30px 20px 30px;}
        .body {padding: 10px 20px;}
        .footer {padding: 10px 0px;}
        .orderitem{
            border-collapse:separate; border-spacing:0 5px;
        }
        .orderitem thead tr th{border-bottom: 1px solid black; border-collapse:separate; border-spacing:5px 5px;}
    </style>
</head>

string result = await engine.CompileRenderAsync("OrderCompleteEmail.cshtml", new { Name = "John Doe" });

@toddams I have the same problem as OP. I have used the extension method above and it doesn’t work. Usages of ‘Localizer[]’ throws null reference exception. Using RazorLight 2.0 beta 1.

            services.AddRazorLight(() => {
                return new RazorLightEngineBuilder()
                      .UseFilesystemProject(AppContext.BaseDirectory)
                      .UseMemoryCachingProvider()
                      .Build();
            });

If I do serviceProvider.GetService<IViewLocalizer>() I see that ViewLocalizer is correctly registered.

I don’t know if this is still an issue. I couldn’t get the localizer to inject into the view. I have created a workaround by injecting the localizer into the model and exposing it as a model property for use in the view. Works fine for my purposes.

Minimal implementation here: https://github.com/Ric43/RazorLightPoC
