viewaspdf does not inherit viewbag/viewdata

[dineshk007]

In addition to passing the model, is it possible to add viewdata as well. It will make it easier to support both online an pdf implementation of the code + compatible with other rotativa implementations.

~ other rotativa implementations.

I have no understanding of its usage. Is there a code to refer to?

In MVC5, we were using https://github.com/webgio/Rotativa
We were able to set properties in the viewbag and they were available in the view included with viewaspdf. We are switching to rotativacore as it seems to offer more than the mvc core version of webgio/rotativa,aspnetcore.
we found that webgio viewaspdf can handle viewdata, but rotativacore viewaspdf doesn't. To make it work, we would need to make changes to use model rather than viewbag.

thanks.

If so, then it would be best to use Rotativa's follow-on product. I don't know, I've never used it, but it is available at https://github.com/webgio/Rotativa.AspNetCore, etc.
