View page from ProjectReference not reflected without restarting main project ASP.Net MVC

Question

I am building a shared UI - razor page in a Lib project (Visual Studio), the purpose is to add the Lib project as ProjectReference to multiple places. I am stuck at finding a way to reflect the .cshtml changes immediately to the browser without restart the main project, which waits me a lot of time.

services.AddMvc().AddRazorRuntimeCompilation();

Setup line above works when I coded UI in main project, but Lib project doesn't.

More information: .Net5.0, Asp.net MVC, Razor page.

You need to tell the compilation services the mapping of the class library to the folder that contains the razor files. See section on razor libraries.
