Create ResourceKey, Razor IViewLocalizer example

[damienbod]

How shound be format for the ResourceKey field for use inside View (injecting IViewLocalizer) ? I try for example: Views.Home.Index .. not works
Or, in other words – Can use IViewLocalizer

Two things:

1. In configuration:
   services.AddSqlLocalization(options => options.UseTypeFullNames = false);
   That is, use false, so the class name is the same ResourcesKey in database (like HomeController or SharedResources)

Explanation:
In class SqlStringLocalizerFactory:
// classes go this way
public IStringLocalizer Create(Type resourceSource) {...}
...
// Views got this way
public IStringLocalizer Create(string baseName, string location) {...}

2. I think that is a bug in second approach, the resouces key includes the location, and the database not exists that entry , I do this workaround:
   public IStringLocalizer Create(string baseName, string location)
   {
   // fix
   var resourceSource = baseName.Replace(location, string.Empty).Substring(1);
   if (_resourceLocalizations.Keys.Contains(resourceSource)) // goodbye: baseName + location
   {
   return _resourceLocalizations[resourceSource];
   }
   var sqlStringLocalizer = new SqlStringLocalizer(GetAllFromDatabaseForResource(resourceSource), resourceSource, false);
   return _resourceLocalizations.GetOrAdd(resourceSource, sqlStringLocalizer);
   }

Then, in my database i can use ResourcesKey like: Views.Home.Index
And works fine!

Perhaps Damien Bod should consider making this change in a future publication.

Hello! I am struggling the same issue with IViewLocalizer usage. The fix for correcting the resourceSource is not in the latest release. When will it be released? I cannot use IViewLocalizer in my Razor pages, unless I get the source code for SqlLocalizer and apply the above fix.

Thanks! Oana
