About Blazor Server Implementation
This implementation demonstrates Blazor Server, which runs C# components on the server and updates the UI in real-time over a SignalR WebSocket connection. No JavaScript is required for CRUD logic.
Blazor Server Advantages
- Full C# — no JavaScript needed for UI logic
- Direct access to server-side services (no HTTP API round-trip)
- Thin client — minimal download, fast initial load
- Share models and validation between server and UI
Considerations
- Requires persistent WebSocket connection (SignalR)
- Every UI interaction is a server round-trip
- Server memory usage scales with connected users
- No offline capability
Technical Details
Blazor Server
Components execute on the server. UI updates are sent to the browser via SignalR WebSocket in real-time.
Direct DI
Injects IEmployeeService directly — no HTTP API calls needed. Data access happens server-side.
SignalR
Built-in SignalR hub handles all client-server communication. No manual WebSocket management.
