Feature Request/Question: Ability to easily author/inject new directives for Razor?

[ghost]

Currently, I cannot find an easy way to author/inject custom directives into Razor whilst using ASPNET Core Mvc(Kestrel).

I can see that the @Inject directive gets registered within razor here. Now if I wanted to inject a custom directive to MVC on startup how would I achieve that easily? Imagining for a second I wanted to create a '@FooInjector'.

I can see you offer access to RazorViewEngineOptions is this potentially where you guys would expose something like this?

We plan on enabling this kind of thing once we have support for it in tooling.

While it would be possible for us to provide support for this in the runtime/compiler right now, the tools would not understand the new directives and would produce errors.

@rynowak, do we have a separate issue tracking this work, or should we use this one for tracking?

[rynowak]

We don't have an issue for it, but its on our roadmap and planning documents.

If you're deeply passionate about having an issue for it, then Razor repo is the right place to track.
