How do I emulate RenderSection in Sitecore?

Question

I know that sitecore mvc dos't support RenderSection.

Is it any way to emulate it with Sitecore MVC ?

I just would like to have only required scripts for specific page.

Of course I can split it to 2 files and to View Rendering but it is seems not good way.

This is not something that you may do easily. It is all about creating appropriate html helpers for that. Here is previous StackOverflow question describing how to implement that:

Using sections in Editor/Display templates

What I did to solve this issue was to create add the following Placeholder in my main layout page (for me, at the end of the Javascript script tags)...

@Html.Sitecore().Placeholder("javascript")

Next add a Sitecore View Rendering that contains the Javascript...

@using Sitecore.Mvc
@using Sitecore.Mvc.Presentation
@model RenderingModel
<script>
    $(function () {
        // your javascript
    });
</script>

This rendering then gets added to the Design Layout of the content item assigning it to the placeholder "javascript".

As a beginner with Sitecore, I'd be interested what others thought of this solution.

Yeah this is a simple way of doing it but would it be possible to do the same from let say another rendering? so imagine you want to create a rendering that does X and in that rendering you would want to have some javascript injected in the placeholder javascript? — Egli Becerra, Feb 09 '20 at 07:06
