   builder.Providers.AddRazorPages()
       .AddRinMvcSupport();
   builder.Providers.AddRin();

4. Embody within the request pipeline the Rin Middlewares:

   if (!app.Setting.IsDevelopment())
   {
       app.UseExceptionHandler("/Error");
       app.UseHsts();
   }
   else
   {
       app.UseRin();
       app.UseRinMvcSupport();
       app.UseRinDiagnosticsHandler();
   }

5. The ultimate Program class ought to seem like this:

   utilizing Rin;
   utilizing Rin.Extensions;
   
   var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
   builder.Logging.AddRinLogger();
   // Add providers to the container.
   builder.Providers.AddRazorPages()
       .AddRinMvcSupport();
   builder.Providers.AddRin();
   
   var app = builder.Construct();
   
   // Configure the HTTP request pipeline.
   if (!app.Setting.IsDevelopment())
   {
       app.UseExceptionHandler("/Error");
       // The default HSTS worth is 30 days. It's possible you'll need to change this for manufacturing eventualities, see https://aka.ms/aspnetcore-hsts.
       app.UseHsts();
   }
   else
   {
       app.UseRin();
       app.UseRinMvcSupport();
       app.UseRinDiagnosticsHandler();
   }
   
   app.UseHttpsRedirection();
   app.UseStaticFiles();
   
   app.UseRouting();
   
   app.UseAuthorization();
   
   app.MapRazorPages();
   
   app.Run();

   @inject Rin.Mvc.View.RinHelperService RinHelper

7. Render the view within the format file:

   @await RenderSectionAsync("Scripts", required: false)
   <atmosphere embody="Improvement">
     @RinHelper.RenderInViewInspector()
   </atmosphere>

Take a look at the Rin Library

When you configure the Rib library, it is best to run the appliance.

Within the left nook, you will note a small widget indicating how a lot time the request took. Should you hover over it, a small window seems. It reveals you the hint of the request.

The Rin Inspector retains a historical past of all of the requests. You’ll be able to see every request’s headers, physique, and hint. This middleware captures the exceptions and logs from libraries like NLog or ILogger.
