Summary

Dave Glick's blog post delves into using Razor templating for rendering emails, building on previous insights into the Razor engine's functionality. It explores various open-source Razor implementations, such as RazorEngineCore, RazorLight, and Statiq, each offering different levels of compatibility with ASP.NET Core's Razor features. RazorEngineCore is noted for its simplicity, lacking higher-level Razor functionalities, while RazorLight provides more advanced features like caching, but with a different implementation style. Statiq attempts to wrap the full ASP.NET Core Razor implementation for feature parity but with added complexity. The post further demonstrates how to integrate these Razor templates with the SendGrid API to send emails, illustrating this with RazorLight in a C# application. It emphasizes the importance of choosing the appropriate Razor library based on specific use cases and encourages further exploration of different templating languages and libraries for email rendering.
