Clean Architecture With Blazor Server

Build CodeQL Nuget Docker Image CI Nuget

This repository hosts a Blazor Server application designed using Clean Architecture principles, featuring a sophisticated user interface and an efficient code generator. Blazor Server combines the power of C# with a modern web development experience, eliminating the need to switch between languages like JavaScript and C#. This setup not only simplifies development but also enables fast, responsive, and highly interactive web applications. Leveraging Blazor's real-time communication capabilities and .NET's robust ecosystem, developers can rapidly create feature-rich, scalable applications with a seamless user experience.

Development Setup

To get started with development, ensure you have the following tools and environments set up:

  • Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-bit)
  • Docker
  • .NET 8.0
  • Unit Test Framework

Authentication Setup

Use the following topics to configure your application to use the respective providers:

Docker Setup for Blazor Server Application

Pull the Docker Image

First, pull the latest version of the Blazor Server Docker image:

docker pull blazordevlab/cleanarchitectureblazorserver:latest

Run the Docker Container

You can start the container in two modes: using an in-memory database for development purposes or connecting to an MSSQL database for persistent storage and configuring SMTP for email functionalities.

For Development (In-Memory Database):

docker run -p 8443:443 -e UseInMemoryDatabase=true -e ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development -e ASPNETCORE_HTTPS_PORTS=443 blazordevlab/cleanarchitectureblazorserver:latest

For Production (Persistent Database and SMTP Configuration):

docker run -d -p 8443:443 \
-e UseInMemoryDatabase=false \
-e ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development \
-e ASPNETCORE_HTTP_PORTS=80 \
-e ASPNETCORE_HTTPS_PORTS=443 \
-e DatabaseSettings__DBProvider=mssql \
-e DatabaseSettings__ConnectionString="Server=127.0.0.1;Database=BlazorDashboardDb;User Id=sa;Password=<YourPassword>;MultipleActiveResultSets=true;Encrypt=false;TrustServerCertificate=false" \
-e SmtpClientOptions__User=<YourSMTPUser> \
-e SmtpClientOptions__Port=25 \
-e SmtpClientOptions__Server=<YourSMTPServer> \
-e SmtpClientOptions__Password=<YourSMTPPassword> \
-e Authentication__Microsoft__ClientId=<YourMicrosoftClientId> \
-e Authentication__Microsoft__ClientSecret=<YourMicrosoftClientSecret> \
-e Authentication__Google__ClientId=<YourGoogleClientId> \
-e Authentication__Google__ClientSecret=<YourGoogleClientSecret> \
-e Authentication__Facebook__AppId=<YourFacebookAppId> \
-e Authentication__Facebook__AppSecret=<YourFacebookAppSecret> \
blazordevlab/cleanarchitectureblazorserver:latest

Replace placeholder values (<Your...>) with your actual configuration details.

Docker Compose Setup

For easier management, use a docker-compose.yml file:

```yaml
version: '3.8'
services:
  blazorserverapp:
    image: blazordevlab/cleanarchitectureblazorserver:latest
    environment:
      - UseInMemoryDatabase=false
      - ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development
      - ASPNETCORE_URLS=http://+:80;https://+:443
      - ASPNETCORE_HTTP_PORTS=80
      - ASPNETCORE_HTTPS_PORTS=443
      - DatabaseSettings__DBProvider=mssql
      - DatabaseSettings__ConnectionString=Server=127.0.0.1;Database=BlazorDashboardDb;User Id=sa;Password=***;MultipleActiveResultSets=true;Encrypt=false;TrustServerCertificate=false
      - SmtpClientOptions__User=<YourSMTPUser>
      - SmtpClientOptions__Port=25
      - SmtpClientOptions__Server=<YourSMTPServer>
      - SmtpClientOptions__Password=<YourSMTPPassword>
      - Authentication__Microsoft__ClientId=<YourMicrosoftClientId>
      - Authentication__Microsoft__ClientSecret=<YourMicrosoftClientSecret>
      - Authentication__Google__ClientId=<YourGoogleClientId>
      - Authentication__Google__ClientSecret=<YourGoogleClientSecret>
      - Authentication__Facebook__AppId=<YourFacebookAppId>
      - Authentication__Facebook__AppSecret=<YourFacebookAppSecret>
    ports:
      - "8443:443"
    volumes:
      - files_volume:/app/Files

  mssql:
    image: mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2022-latest
    environment:
      - ACCEPT_EULA=Y
      - SA_PASSWORD=YourStrongPassword!
    ports:
      - "1433:1433"
    volumes:
      - mssql_data:/var/opt/mssql

volumes:
  files_volume:
  mssql_data:

Notes:

Replace <Your...> placeholders with actual values from your environment. The files_volume volume is used for persistent storage of application files. Adjust or extend volumes based on your specific needs. This optimized guide should help in setting up your Blazor Server application with either an in-memory or MSSQL database, configured SMTP server for email functionalities, and OAuth authentication for Microsoft, Google, and Facebook.

Supported Databases

  • PostgreSQL (Provider Name: postgresql)
  • Microsoft SQL Server (Provider Name: mssql)
  • SQLite (Provider Name: sqlite)

How to select a specific Database?

  1. Open the appsettings.json file located in the src directory of the Server.UI project.
  2. Change the setting DBProvider to the desired provider name (See Supported Databases).
  3. Change the ConnectionString to a connection string, which works for your selected database provider.

Docker compose https deployment

  • Create self-signed development certificates for the project

    cmd: dotnet dev-certs https -ep $env:USERPROFILE\.aspnet\https\CleanArchitecture.Blazor.Server.UI.pfx -p Password@123
    • cmd: dotnet dev-certs https --trust
  • Manage User secrets to save the password
    • cmd: dotnet user-secrets init
    • cmd: dotnet user-secrets -p Server.UI.csproj set "Kestrel:Certificates:Development:Password" "Password@123"

Why I chose Blazor Server

I prefer Blazor Server because I dislike switching between C# and JavaScript during development. Blazor Server allows me to focus on C#.
