#5 Reuse a function library CreateInstance
Reuse functions
When you need a function in many places, it's best to put it into an own cshtml file and access it using CreateInstance.
Using shared library of functions
The example takes a cshtml file with a QrPath function returning the url to a qr-code. It then accesses it using CreateInstance(...).
Hello from lib: Hello!
@{
var lib = CreateInstance("SharedFunctions.cs");
}
<div>Hello from lib: @lib.SayHello()</div>
<div>
<img loading="lazy" src='@lib.QrPath("https://2sxc.org")' width="75px">
</div>
