MapPath outside of controller ASP.NET Core

Question

I am trying to convert an MVC 5 project to MVC 6 with ASP.NET Core. In the old project, I had a static HTML helper class which I used to render inline css.

I used to be able to use HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(path) to get the root outside a controller, but this exists in System.Web and so is not available to me.

What equivalent can I use in ASP.NET Core to MapPath outside of a Controller class (ie, I do not have access to IHostingEnvironment)

I suggest passing the `IHostingEnvironment` to the helper method from a point where you do have access to it. — Henk Mollema, Nov 26 '16 at 08:58
