You can use ActionView directly and render partials to string without having a controller. I find that pattern useful to create models that encapsulate some javascript generation, for instance.

html = ActionView::Base.new(Rails.configuration.paths['app/views']).render(
  partial: 'test', 
  formats: [:html],
  handlers: [:erb],
  locals: { variable: 'value' }
)

Then, just put your _test.html.erb in you view folder and try it out!
