Aspire Blazor WebAssembly and WebAPI

 

Aspire is the new visualizer – see https://github.com/dotnet/aspire

I am very fond of WebAPI  –  it allows for all people to see the functionality of a site , in a programmatic way ( side note: , my nuget package, https://www.nuget.org/packages/NetCore2Blockly , allows to make workflows from your WebAPI)

And Blazor WebAssembly is a nice addition that the WebAPI . I am talking about Interactive WebAssembly (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/blazor/components/render-modes?preserve-view=true&view=aspnetcore-8.0  )  . I do want ( for the moment ) to use Interactive Server because

  1. it is easy to forget to add functionality to the WebAPI
  2. it is not separating UI from BL

So I decided to add an Blazor WebAssembly and WebAPI into Aspire to see how they work together.

The first problem that  I have is how to transmit the WebAPI URL to the Blazor WebAssembly . Think that is not Interactive Server or Auto – in order to have the environment or configuration . Blazor Interactive WebAssembly  are just static files that are downloaded to the client. And they are executed in the browser.

But I have tried with adding to the Environment in usual way

builder.AddProject<projects.exampleblazorapp>(nameof(Projects.ExampleBlazorApp))
.WithEnvironment(ctx =&gt;
{
if (api.Resource.TryGetAllocatedEndPoints(out var end))
{
if (end.Any())
	ctx.EnvironmentVariables["HOSTAPI"] = end.First().UriString;
}

 

And no use!

After reading ASP.NET Core Blazor configuration | Microsoft Learn  and aspire/src/Microsoft.Extensions.ServiceDiscovery at main · dotnet/aspire (github.com) and API review for Service Discovery · Issue #789 · dotnet/aspire (github.com) I realized that the ONLY way is to put in wwwroot/appsettings.json

So I came with the following code that tries to write DIRECTLY to wwwroot/appsettings.json file


namespace Aspire.Hosting;
public static class BlazorWebAssemblyProjectExtensions
{
    public static IResourceBuilder<ProjectResource> AddWebAssemblyProject<TProject>(
        this IDistributedApplicationBuilder builder, string name,
        IResourceBuilder<ProjectResource> api) 
        where TProject : IServiceMetadata, new()
    {
        var projectbuilder = builder.AddProject<TProject>(name);
        var p=new TProject();
        string hostApi= p.ProjectPath;
        var dir = Path.GetDirectoryName(hostApi);
        ArgumentNullException.ThrowIfNull(dir);
        var wwwroot = Path.Combine(dir, "wwwroot");
        if (!Directory.Exists(wwwroot)) {
            Directory.CreateDirectory(wwwroot);
        }
        var file = Path.Combine(wwwroot, "appsettings.json");
        if (!File.Exists(file))
            File.WriteAllText(file, "{}");
        projectbuilder =projectbuilder.WithEnvironment(ctx =>
        {
            if (api.Resource.TryGetAllocatedEndPoints(out var end))
            {
                if (end.Any())
                {
                    
                    var fileContent = File.ReadAllText(file);

                    Dictionary<string, object>? dict;
                    if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(fileContent))
                        dict = new Dictionary<string, object>();
                    else
                        dict = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<Dictionary<string,object>>(fileContent!);

                    ArgumentNullException.ThrowIfNull(dict);
                    dict["HOSTAPI"] = end.First().UriString;                    
                    JsonSerializerOptions opt = new JsonSerializerOptions(JsonSerializerOptions.Default)
                            { WriteIndented=true};
                    File.WriteAllText(file,JsonSerializer.Serialize(dict,opt));
                    ctx.EnvironmentVariables["HOSTAPI"]=end.First().UriString;
                    
                }
                    
            }

        });
        return projectbuilder;

    }
}

And in Aspire

var api = builder.AddProject<Projects.ExampleWebAPI>(nameof(Projects.ExampleWebAPI));
builder.AddWebAssemblyProject<Projects.ExampleBlazorApp>(nameof(Projects.ExampleBlazorApp), api);

And in Blazor Interactive WebAssembly


var hostApi = builder.Configuration["HOSTAPI"];
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(hostApi))
{
    hostApi = builder.HostEnvironment.BaseAddress;
    var dict = new Dictionary<string, string?> { { "HOSTAPI", hostApi } };
    builder.Configuration.AddInMemoryCollection(dict.ToArray());
}

builder.Services.AddKeyedScoped("db",(sp,_) => new HttpClient { BaseAddress = new Uri(hostApi) });

What about deploying the code to production ? Well, I think that is better to wrote yourself to wwwroot/appsettings.json and remove the data . But I will try to deploy and let you know….

Aspire , containers and dotnet watch

Aspire is the new visualizer – see https://github.com/dotnet/aspire

If you use dotnet run ( or Visual Studio)  with an Aspire host that instantiate some containers  , then , when you stop the project, the container is released.

But, if you use

dotnet watch run –nohotreload

then the containers are not  deleted. The nice solution is to investigate dotnet watch and Aspire . And maybe fill a bug.

The easy ? Delete the containers first !


void DeleteDockerContainers()
{
    var process = new Process
    {
        StartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo
        {
            FileName = "powershell.exe",
            Arguments = $$"""
-Command "docker rm -f $(docker ps -a -q)"
""",
            RedirectStandardOutput = true,
            UseShellExecute = false,
            CreateNoWindow = true,
        }
    };
    process.Start();
    while (!process.StandardOutput.EndOfStream)
    {
        var line = process.StandardOutput.ReadLine();
        Console.WriteLine(line);
    }
}

Aspire, Sql Server Docker Container and multiple Connections strings

Aspire is the new visualizer – see https://github.com/dotnet/aspire

When creating a Docker container with Sql Server , the connection that is returned is without database – means that , usually, is connecting to the master.

That’s not that we usually want, so the following code is means that WebAPI will be connected to master

var builder = DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var rb= builder.AddSqlServerContainer("Db2Gui", "<YourStrong@Passw0rd>");
builder.AddProject<Projects.ExampleWebAPI>(nameof(Projects.ExampleWebAPI))
   .WithReference(rb)
    ;

Instead , do what they do – but add the database

var builder = DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

var rb= builder.AddSqlServerContainer("Db2Gui", "<YourStrong@Passw0rd>");

builder.AddProject<Projects.ExampleWebAPI>(nameof(Projects.ExampleWebAPI))
    .WithEnvironment(ctx=>
    {
        var connectionStringName = $"ConnectionStrings__";
        var res=rb.Resource;
        var cn = res.GetConnectionString();
        ctx.EnvironmentVariables[connectionStringName+ "ApplicationDBContext"] = cn+ $";database=tests;";
        ctx.EnvironmentVariables[connectionStringName+ "NorthwindDBContext"] = cn + $";database=northwind;";
        ctx.EnvironmentVariables[connectionStringName+ "PubsDBContext"] = cn + $";database=pubs;";
    })
    //.WithReference(rb, "")
    ;

It is true that you can make the following :

builder.AddProject<Projects.ExampleWebAPI>(nameof(Projects.ExampleWebAPI))
    .WithReference(rb.AddDatabase("tests"), "ApplicationDBContext")
    .WithReference(rb.AddDatabase("northwind"), "NorthwindDBContext")
    .WithReference(rb.AddDatabase("pubs"), "PubsDBContext")
    .WithReference(rb.AddDatabase("NotCreated"), "NotCreated")

    ;

But it does not CREATE the database ( and it is a good thing …. EF EnsureCreated verifies JUST the existence of the database not of the tables within)
So thats why I prefer WithEnvironment rather than .WithReference(rb.AddDatabase

Deploy Blazor WASM to Github Pages in 7 steps

Assumptions:

You have an Blazor Interactive WebAssembly ( CSR ) , not a Server ( static or interactive)

I will make as the repo is  https://github.com/ignatandrei/tilt  . Change my name with yours and TILT  with your repo

So let’s start

Step 1   You must configure GitHub Pages – create a docs folder and put an index.html  . Then  goto github Settings => Pages (https://github.com/ignatandrei/tilt/settings/pages )  and put there main / docs  . 

Step 2  Verify it is working. If your repo is https://github.com/ignatandrei/tilt , then browse to https://ignatandrei.github.io/TILT/ and ensure that you can see the index. If not, goto Step 1

Step 3  Add 2 files .nojekyll (content : null , empty …. just create it ) and .gitattributes ( content : *.js binary )

Step 4 dotnet publish your Blazor WASM csproj . Find the folder wwwroot where was published.

Step  5  Find index.html  in the folder . Edit base href , put the repo name  (<base href=”/TILT/” />  ). Also you can modify the css/js  by adding the date ( e.g.  <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”css/app.css?202312162300″ /> ) .

Step 6  Copy the index.html and the other files inside the docs folder . Also, copy the index.html as 404.html file

Step 7 Commit and push. Now you can enjoy your Blazor site hosted for free in github  : https://github.com/ignatandrei/tilt 

Note 1 : If some url’s do not work , then try to add the following

@inject IWebAssemblyHostEnvironment HostEnvironment
@{
     var baseAddress = HostEnvironment.BaseAddress;
     if (!baseAddress.EndsWith(“/”)) baseAddress += “/”;

}

to the url

Note 2:  For more deployments please read https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/blazor/host-and-deploy/webassembly?view=aspnetcore-8.0

Generating Binding for configuration files

 

This is how you can use Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Binder .

The code that you start with is

  <Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">    <PropertyGroup>     <TargetFramework>net8.0</TargetFramework>     <Nullable>enable</Nullable>     <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>     <InvariantGlobalization>true</InvariantGlobalization>   </PropertyGroup>    <ItemGroup> 	  <!--<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Binder" Version="8.0.0" />-->     <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.OpenApi" Version="8.0.0" />     <PackageReference Include="Swashbuckle.AspNetCore" Version="6.4.0" />   </ItemGroup> 	<PropertyGroup> 		<EnableConfigurationBindingGenerator>true</EnableConfigurationBindingGenerator> 	</PropertyGroup> 	<PropertyGroup> 		<EmitCompilerGeneratedFiles>true</EmitCompilerGeneratedFiles> 		<CompilerGeneratedFilesOutputPath>$(BaseIntermediateOutputPath)\GX</CompilerGeneratedFilesOutputPath> 	</PropertyGroup>   </Project>   

The code that you will use is

  using ConfigBinderDemo; using Microsoft.Extensions.Options;  var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);  // Add services to the container. // Learn more about configuring Swagger/OpenAPI at https://aka.ms/aspnetcore/swashbuckle builder.Services.AddEndpointsApiExplorer(); builder.Services.AddSwaggerGen();  var app = builder.Build();  // Configure the HTTP request pipeline. if (app.Environment.IsDevelopment()) {     app.UseSwagger();     app.UseSwaggerUI(); } builder.Services.AddOptions<MyAppOptions>()             .BindConfiguration(MyAppOptions.ConfigName); app.MapGet("/nameApp", (IOptions<MyAppOptions> opt) => {     try     {         var val = opt.Value.AppDisplayName;         return val;     }     catch (OptionsValidationException ex)     {         var problems = ex.Failures.ToArray();         return string.Join(",", problems);     }  }) .WithName("GetWeatherForecast") .WithOpenApi();  app.Run();  internal record WeatherForecast(DateOnly Date, int TemperatureC, string? Summary) {     public int TemperatureF => 32 + (int)(TemperatureC / 0.5556); }   
  using System.Diagnostics;  namespace ConfigBinderDemo;  [DebuggerDisplay("{AppDisplayName}")] public class MyAppOptions {     public const string ConfigName = "MyAppOptionsInConfig";     public string AppDisplayName { get; set; } = string.Empty;  }
