ASP.NET Core Add HTML to Web Api
Suppose you wanted to add html to your asp.net web api project, how would you go about it?

builder.Services.AddHttpContextAccessor(); // add this
var app = builder.Build();
app.MapControllers();
app.MapRazorPages(); // add this, it doesn't matter if it is before or after MapControllers
app.Run();

In your project folder, create Pages/About.cshtml
@page
@inject Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.IHttpContextAccessor HttpContextAccessor
<!DOCTYPE html>
<style>
@Html.Raw("@")media only screen and (min-width: 950px) {
.center {
width: 30%;
}
}
</style>
<a href="@(HttpContextAccessor.HttpContext.Request.Path)@(HttpContextAccessor.HttpContext.Request.QueryString.ToUriComponent())">This pages url</a>
<p>a get request query for field name: @HttpContextAccessor.HttpContext.Request.Query["name"]</p>
