Hey Reader,
Today, we're diving into two burning questions that have been on a lot of your minds: How to implement Clean Architecture in a Blazor Web App and whether Blazor is viable in the industry.
In my newest video tutorial, I break down the essentials of setting up a Clean Architecture for your Blazor Web App in Visual Studio. We'll explore the four layers - Domain, Application, Infrastructure, and Presentation - and how they seamlessly integrate.
Here's what you need to know:
Start with a blank solution in Visual Studio and create a "src" folder for all your projects.
Begin layering by setting up three class library projects: "Domain," "Application," "Infrastructure". For the Presentation layer, kick off a new project with the "Blazor Web App" template, which will then be the starting project.
With Clean Architecture, each layer points inwards to ensure separation of concerns. A common industry practice allows the presentation layer to directly reference the infrastructure layer.
Ensure proper project referencing: Application refers to Domain, Infrastructure to Application, and Presentation to Infrastructure (taking the shortcut here).
For service registration, don't bunch it all in the Presentation layer's Program.cs. Add a DependencyInjection.cs file in both Application and Infrastructure layers with an extension method for the IServiceCollection. Invoke this in the Presentation layer's Program.cs.
That's it!
A lot of you have been asking if people really use Blazor for real work.
The story of BurnRate, run by .NET expert Robert McLaws, shows that yes, they do.
Instead of using complicated Excel sheets, BurnRate uses a smart "People Algorithm" with the help of Blazor and ASP.NET. This makes their website able to handle detailed financial stuff easily.
It's a great example of how Blazor is good for making reliable, ready-for-business apps. Check out how BurnRate uses Blazor here: BurnRate is fueling revenue success with Blazor.
