Equivalent of “@section” in ASP.NET Core MVC?

Question

In the default _Layout.cshtml file, scripts are defined in "environment"s like so:

<environment names="Development">
     <script src="~/lib/jquery/dist/jquery.js"></script>
     <script src="~/lib/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.js"></script>
     <script src="~/js/site.js" asp-append-version="true"></script>
</environment>
<environment names="Staging,Production">
     <script src="https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-2.1.4.min.js"
                    asp-fallback-src="~/lib/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js"
                    asp-fallback-test="window.jQuery">
     </script>
     <script src="https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/bootstrap/3.3.5/bootstrap.min.js"
                    asp-fallback-src="~/lib/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"
                    asp-fallback-test="window.jQuery && window.jQuery.fn && window.jQuery.fn.modal">
     </script>
     <script src="~/js/site.min.js" asp-append-version="true"></script>
</environment>

And below that is @RenderSection("scripts", required: false)

I can't seem to implement a section (in this case "scripts") in any separate .cshtml file since it looks like they got rid of "@section" in Core

I would like to add specific scripts for specific views. What is the new way to go about this? Do I just dump everything in _Layout now?

I think you are mistaken. It works just fine in ASP.NET Core. I have this in my _layout.cshtml

@RenderSection("scripts", required: false)

and in one of my views I'm adding scripts there like this:

@section Scripts {
    @if (Model.CanEdit)
   {
      await Html.RenderPartialAsync("EditorScriptsPartial");
   }
}
