ASP.NET Core Blazor project structure
This article describes the files and folders that make up a Blazor app generated from one of the Blazor framework's project templates. For information on how to use tooling to create a Blazor app from a Blazor project template, see xref:blazor/tooling. For information on Blazor's hosting models, Blazor WebAssembly and Blazor Server, see xref:blazor/hosting-models.
Blazor WebAssembly
Blazor WebAssembly project template: blazorwasm
The Blazor WebAssembly template creates the initial files and directory structure for a Blazor WebAssembly app. The app is populated with demonstration code for a FetchData
component that loads data from a static asset, weather.json
, and user interaction with a Counter
component.
-
Pages
folder: Contains the routable components/pages (.razor
) that make up the Blazor app. The route for each page is specified using the@page
directive. The template includes the following components:Counter
component (Counter.razor
): Implements the Counter page.FetchData
component (FetchData.razor
): Implements the Fetch data page.Index
component (Index.razor
): Implements the Home page.
-
Properties/launchSettings.json
: Holds development environment configuration.
::: moniker range=">= aspnetcore-5.0"
Shared
folder: Contains the following shared components and stylesheets:MainLayout
component (MainLayout.razor
): The app's layout component.MainLayout.razor.css
: Stylesheet for the app's main layout.NavMenu
component (NavMenu.razor
): Implements sidebar navigation. Includes theNavLink
component (xref:Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.Routing.NavLink), which renders navigation links to other Razor components. The xref:Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.Routing.NavLink component automatically indicates a selected state when its component is loaded, which helps the user understand which component is currently displayed.NavMenu.razor.css
: Stylesheet for the app's navigation menu.SurveyPrompt
component (SurveyPrompt.razor
): Blazor survey component.

wwwroot
: The Web Root folder for the app containing the app's public static assets, includingappsettings.json
and environmental app settings files for configuration settings. Theindex.html
webpage is the root page of the app implemented as an HTML page:- When any page of the app is initially requested, this page is rendered and returned in the response.
- The page specifies where the root
App
component is rendered. The component is rendered at the location of thediv
DOM element with anid
ofapp
(<div id="app">Loading...</div>
).

: Includes common Razor directives to include in the app's components (.razor
), such as@using
directives for namespaces. -
App.razor
: The root component of the app that sets up client-side routing using the xref:Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.Routing.Router component. The xref:Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.Routing.Router component intercepts browser navigation and renders the page that matches the requested address.

Blazor Server
Blazor Server project template: blazorserver
The Blazor Server template creates the initial files and directory structure for a Blazor Server app. The app is populated with demonstration code for a FetchData
component that loads data from a registered service, WeatherForecastService
, and user interaction with a Counter
component.
-
Data
folder: Contains theWeatherForecast
class and implementation of theWeatherForecastService
that provides example weather data to the app'sFetchData
component. -
Pages
folder: Contains the routable components/pages (.razor
) that make up the Blazor app and the root Razor page of a Blazor Server app. The route for each page is specified using the@page
directive. The template includes the following:_Host.cshtml
: The root page of the app implemented as a Razor Page:- When any page of the app is initially requested, this page is rendered and returned in the response.
- The Host page specifies where the root
App
component (App.razor
) is rendered.
Counter
component (Counter.razor
): Implements the Counter page.Error
component (Error.razor
): Rendered when an unhandled exception occurs in the app.FetchData
component (FetchData.razor
): Implements the Fetch data page.Index
component (Index.razor
): Implements the Home page.

Pages/_Host.cshtml
file should appear before the closing</body>
tag. The order that custom JS code is loaded from JS files is important in some scenarios. For example, ensure that JS files with interop methods are included before Blazor framework JS files.

Startup.cs
: Contains the app's startup logic. TheStartup
class defines two methods:ConfigureServices
: Configures the app's dependency injection (DI) services. Services are added by calling xref:Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.ComponentServiceCollectionExtensions.AddServerSideBlazor%2A, and theWeatherForecastService
is added to the service container for use by the exampleFetchData
component.Configure
: Configures the app's request handling pipeline:- xref:Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder.ComponentEndpointRouteBuilderExtensions.MapBlazorHub%2A is called to set up an endpoint for the real-time connection with the browser. The connection is created with SignalR, which is a framework for adding real-time web functionality to apps.
MapFallbackToPage("/_Host")
is called to set up the root page of the app (Pages/_Host.cshtml
) and enable navigation.
