Blazor WASM with OData back-end

Installation

Index

The GridBlazor component installation is straightforward. Just follow these steps:

1. Create a new Blazor client-side solution using the Blazor WebAssembly App template

2. Install the GridBlazor nuget package v1.5.0 or lateron the client project.

3. Install the Microsoft.AspNetCore.OData nuget package v7.4.0 or later on the server project.

4. Add the following lines to the wwwroot/index.html file:

       <link href="_content/GridBlazor/css/gridblazor.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
       <script src="_content/GridBlazor/js/gridblazor.js"></script>

   These files will be loaded from the GridBlazor nuget package, so it is not necessary to copy it to you project.

5. If you are using Boostrap 3.x you will also need this line in the wwwroot/index.html file:

       <link href="~/_content/GridBlazor/css/gridblazor-bootstrap3.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

6. Add the OData endpoints in Startup.cs file of the server project:

       app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
       {
           endpoints.Select().Expand().Filter().OrderBy().MaxTop(100).Count();
           endpoints.MapODataRoute("odata", "odata", EdmModel.GetEdmModel());
   
           endpoints.MapControllers();
           endpoints.MapFallbackToFile("index.html");
       });

   It's important to enable Select, Expand, Filter, and OrderBy operations at application level or at controller level. More information in the Microsoft OData dcoumentation.

   If you use another OData server implementation for the back-end you should read the providers documentation to configure the back-end project.
