Asp.net Core - How to InvokeAsync for a ViewComponent from javascript?

Question

I have a simple ViewComponent (i.e. partialview) which i can do an InvokeAsyn() to render a small snippet of HTML by placing the invoke code within my CSHTML.

Question

How can I call a ViewComponent InvokeAsync (or any method) to retrieve raw data (not necessarily HTML markup) from javascript?

Alternatively

An alternative approach that could totally work is exposing an Asp.net Core API which i can simply call from javascript side.
