Prerequisites
Visual Studio
Visual Studio Code
Visual Studio for Mac
.NET Core CLI
Create a hosted Blazor WebAssembly app project
When not using Visual Studio version 16.6 Preview 2 or later, install the Blazor WebAssembly template. The Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.Templates package has a preview version while Blazor WebAssembly is in preview. In a command shell, execute the following command:
dotnet new -i Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.Templates::3.2.0-rc1.20223.4
Follow the guidance for your choice of tooling:
Visual Studio
-
Create a new project.
-
Select Blazor App and select Next.
-
Type "BlazorSignalRApp" in the Project name field. Confirm the Location entry is correct or provide a location for the project. Select Create.
-
Choose the Blazor WebAssembly App template.
-
Under Advanced, select the ASP.NET Core hosted check box.
-
Select Create.
[!NOTE] If you upgraded or installed a new version of Visual Studio and the Blazor WebAssembly template doesn't appear in the VS UI, reinstall the template using the
dotnet new
command shown previously.
Visual Studio Code
-
In a command shell, execute the following command:
dotnet new blazorwasm --hosted --output BlazorSignalRApp
-
In Visual Studio Code, open the app's project folder.
-
When the dialog appears to add assets to build and debug the app, select Yes. Visual Studio Code automatically adds the .vscode folder with generated launch.json and tasks.json files.
Visual Studio for Mac
-
In a command shell, execute the following command:
dotnet new blazorwasm --hosted --output BlazorSignalRApp
-
In Visual Studio for Mac, open the project by navigating to the project folder and opening the project's solution file (.sln).
.NET Core CLI
In a command shell, execute the following command:
dotnet new blazorwasm --hosted --output BlazorSignalRApp
Add the SignalR client library
Visual Studio
-
In Solution Explorer, right-click the BlazorSignalRApp.Client project and select Manage NuGet Packages.
-
In the Manage NuGet Packages dialog, confirm that the Package source is set to nuget.org.
-
With Browse selected, type "Microsoft.AspNetCore.SignalR.Client" in the search box.
-
In the search results, select the
Microsoft.AspNetCore.SignalR.Client
package and select Install. -
If the Preview Changes dialog appears, select OK.
-
If the License Acceptance dialog appears, select I Accept if you agree with the license terms.
Visual Studio Code
In the Integrated Terminal (View > Terminal from the toolbar), execute the following commands:
dotnet add Client package Microsoft.AspNetCore.SignalR.Client
Visual Studio for Mac
-
In the Solution sidebar, right-click the BlazorSignalRApp.Client project and select Manage NuGet Packages.
-
In the Manage NuGet Packages dialog, confirm that the source drop-down is set to nuget.org.
-
With Browse selected, type "Microsoft.AspNetCore.SignalR.Client" in the search box.
-
In the search results, select the check box next to the
Microsoft.AspNetCore.SignalR.Client
package and select Add Package. -
If the License Acceptance dialog appears, select Accept if you agree with the license terms.
.NET Core CLI
In a command shell, execute the following commands:
cd BlazorSignalRApp
dotnet add Client package Microsoft.AspNetCore.SignalR.Client
Add a SignalR hub
In the BlazorSignalRApp.Server project, create a Hubs (plural) folder and add the following ChatHub
class (Hubs/ChatHub.cs):
Add services and an endpoint for the SignalR hub
-
In the BlazorSignalRApp.Server project, open the Startup.cs file.
-
Add the namespace for the
ChatHub
class to the top of the file:using BlazorSignalRApp.Server.Hubs;
-
Add SignalR and Response Compression Middleware services to
Startup.ConfigureServices
: -
In
Startup.Configure
between the endpoints for controllers and the client-side fallback, add an endpoint for the hub:
Add Razor component code for chat
-
In the BlazorSignalRApp.Client project, open the Pages/Index.razor file.
-
Replace the markup with the following code:
Run the app
- Follow the guidance for your tooling:
Visual Studio
-
In Solution Explorer, select the BlazorSignalRApp.Server project. Press F5 to run the app with debugging or Ctrl+F5 to run the app without debugging.
-
Copy the URL from the address bar, open another browser instance or tab, and paste the URL in the address bar.
-
