How can I find the physical path of wwwroot, in a Razor page without a controller?

Question

I need to make a file list in a list, which used to be easy.. but not on Asp.Net Core 2 Razor pages. I cannot find a way to get the physical path of "Poems" which is inside "wwwroot". I found many examples using IHostingEnvironment but always in a controller. But I don't have a controller, don't need one, just the page and code behind..

Oh, how I miss WebForms!

What is the solution for a Razor Page without a controller?

Thanks in advance.

You can use IWebHostEnvironment class. Code block is given below:

private readonly IWebHostEnvironment _webHostEnvironment;

        public HomeController(
            IWebHostEnvironment webHostEnvironment)
        {
            _webHostEnvironment = webHostEnvironment;
        }

public IActionResult Index()
        {
            string rootPath = _webHostEnvironment.WebRootPath
            return View();
        }
