Releases and Roadmap

Prerequisites

Before you continue, please make sure you have the latest version of Visual Studio and .Net Core installed. Visit an official Blazor site to learn more.

Installations

There are currently 4 different NuGet packages for each of the supported CSS frameworks. Available packages are:

- Blazorise.Bootstrap
- Blazorise.Bulma
- Blazorise.Material
- Blazorise.Frolic

This guide will show you how to setup Blazorise with Bootstrap and FontAwesome icons. To setup Blazorise for other CSS frameworks, please refer the Usage page in the documentation.

1. NuGet packages

First step is to install a Bootstrap provider for Blazorise:

Install-Package Blazorise.Bootstrap

And FontAwesome icon package:

Install-Package Blazorise.Icons.FontAwesome

2. Source files

The next step is to define links to Bootstrap and FontAwesome CSS or JS files. If you're using Blazor WebAssembly project template, those links will go to the index.html located inside of wwwroot folder. Otherwise, if you're using a Blazor Server project template you will place the links into the _Host.cshtml.

In this step we're also going to define the links for Blazorise content files that comes with nuget packages. You must follow the naming convention _content/{LIBRARY.NAME}/{FILE.NAME}.

<link href="_content/Blazorise.Bootstrap/blazorise.bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet" />

<script src="_content/Blazorise/blazorise.js"></script>
<script src="_content/Blazorise.Bootstrap/blazorise.bootstrap.js"></script>

NOTE
When Blazor project is created it will also include it's own Bootstrap and FontAwesome files that can sometime be of older versions. To ensure we're using the appropriate Bootstrap and FontAwesome files, you need to remove them or replace them with the links from above. If you forget to remove them it's possible that some of components will not work as expected.

3. Using's

In your main _Imports.razor add:

@using Blazorise

4. Registrations

Starting from .Net Core 3.2 there was some changes regarding the setup process for Blazor WebAssembly project types. Specifically the Startup.cs file is removed and all registrations are now done in the Program.cs.

Depending on the hosting model of your Blazor project you only need to apply either step 4.a or 4.b. You should not include both of them as that is generally not supported.

To Learn more about the different project types you can go to the official documentation.

4.a Blazor WebAssembly

This step is mandatory for Blazor WebAssembly(client-side) and also for ASP.NET Core hosted project types. You should place the code into the Program.cs of your client project.

// other usings
using Blazorise;
using Blazorise.Bootstrap;
using Blazorise.Icons.FontAwesome;

public class Program
{
  public static async Task Main( string[] args )
  {
    var builder = WebAssemblyHostBuilder.CreateDefault( args );

    builder.Services
      .AddBlazorise( options =>
      {
          options.ChangeTextOnKeyPress = true;
      } )
      .AddBootstrapProviders()
      .AddFontAwesomeIcons();

    builder.RootComponents.Add<App>( "app" );

    var host = builder.Build();

    host.Services
      .UseBootstrapProviders()
      .UseFontAwesomeIcons();

    await host.RunAsync();
  }
}

4.b Blazor Server

This step is going only into the Startup.cs of your Blazor Server project.

// other usings
using Blazorise;
using Blazorise.Bootstrap;
using Blazorise.Icons.FontAwesome;

public class Startup
{
  public void ConfigureServices( IServiceCollection services )
  {
    services
      .AddBlazorise( options =>
      {
        options.ChangeTextOnKeyPress = true; // optional
      } )
      .AddBootstrapProviders()
      .AddFontAwesomeIcons();

      // other services
  }

  public void Configure( IComponentsApplicationBuilder app )
  {
    // other settings
    
    app.UseRouting();
    
    app.ApplicationServices
      .UseBootstrapProviders()
      .UseFontAwesomeIcons();

    app.UseEndpoints( endpoints =>
    {
        endpoints.MapBlazorHub();
        endpoints.MapFallbackToPage( "/_Host" );
    } );
  }
}

Usage

@page "/counter"

<Heading Size="HeadingSize.Is1">Counter</Heading>

<Paragraph>Current count: @currentCount</Paragraph>

<Button Color="Color.Primary" Clicked="IncrementCount">Click me</Button>

@code {
    int currentCount = 0;

    void IncrementCount()
    {
        currentCount++;
    }
}
