I am following this tutorial of "Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaServices Server Side Prerendering" and there are two important steps to use power "Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaServices":

1. Go to your "Views/_ViewImports.cshtml" file, and add the following line:
@addTagHelper "*, Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaServices"`

2. Choose a place in one of your MVC views where you `want to prerender a SPA component. For example, open "Views/Home/Index.cshtml", and add markup like the following:

<div id="my-spa" asp-prerender-module="ClientApp/boot-server"></div>

But "Web Api" does not have "Views" folder. How can I do above steps in Web API?
